Relaxation at finite temperature in Fully-Frustrated Ising Models

We consider by means of Monte Carlo simulations the relaxation in the paramagnetic phase of the anti-ferromagnetic Ising model on a triangular lattice and of a fully-frustrated Ising model on a square lattice. In contradistinction to previous studies of the second model, we show that spin-spin correlation functions do not decay with a stretched-exponential law at low temperature but that both models display an exponential decay with logarithmic corrections that are interpreted as the signature of topological defects.
