Abstract: Consider the behavior of a classical O(n) model in a weak random external field acting along some $k$-dimensional subspace in $R^n$ with $k<n$. We show rigorously that if $k=n-1$, for the model defined on $$, $d=2,3$ there is residual magnetic order perpendicular to the subspace which supports the distribution of the random field only. Furthermore, when $kleqn-1$ and $dgeq2$ we show in general that the magnitude of spin projections onto this subspace are small.
