Vortex-glass transition in three dimensions.

We investigate the possibility of a vortex-glass transition in a disordered type-II superconductor in a magnetic field in three dimensions by numerical studies of a simplified model. Monte Carlo simulations at finite temperature and domain-wall renormalization-group calculations at {ital T}=0 indicate that {ital d}=3 is just above the lower critical dimension {ital d}{sub {ital l}}, though the possibility that {ital d}{sub {ital l}}=3 cannot be definitely ruled out. A comparison is made with {ital XY} and Ising spin glasses. The (effective) correlation-length exponent {nu} and dynamical exponent {ital z} are in fairly good agreement with experiment.
