Abstract:
We investigate numerically the transverse and longitudinal correlation lengths of the three-dimensional O(4) model as a function of the external field H. From our data we calculate the scaling function of the transverse correlation length, and that of the longitudinal correlation length for T>T_c. We show that the scaling functions do not only describe the critical behaviours of the correlation lengths but encompass as well the predicted Goldstone effects, in particular the H^{-1/2}-dependence of the transverse correlation length for T
