Abstract
We characterize the phase diagram of anisotropic Heisenberg spin glasses, finding both the spin and the chiral glass transition. We remark on the presence of strong finite-size effects in the chiral sector. On the spin glass sector, we find that the universality class is that of Ising spin glasses. Our data are compatible with a unique phase transition for the chiral and spin glass sector. We focus on keeping finite-size effects under control, and we stress that they are important to understand experiments. Thanks to large GPU clusters we have been able to thermalize cubic lattices with up to spins, over a vast range of temperatures (hence, of relaxation times).
