For both models the symmetry-breaking states at low temperatures are described by non-zero octupole moments or third-rank spin tensor order parameters. In the case of the two-dimensional kagome antiferromagnet, a sharp crossover into a coplanar state takes place at T_k ~ 0.004J, which we attribute to proliferation of fractional vortices. The three-dimensional model exhibits a first-order transition at T_c ~ 0.002J into a phase with critical spin correlations, which possesses a long-range order of octupole moments.12+ pages, 14 figures, accepted versionStrongly Correlated ElectronsStatistical MechanicsOctupolar ordering of classical kagome antiferromagnets in two and three dimensionstext
