Period multiplication cascade at the order-by-disorder transition in uniaxial random field XY magnets

In the XY model, the application of a disordered uniaxial magnetic field leads to a long range magnetic order. Here, using a numerical approach, the authors find that at a critical rotating driving field, the number of driving cycles needed to complete a limit cycle diverges.
