We investigate spin-spin correlation functions in the low temperature phase of spin-glasses. With the replica field theory formalism, we examine in detail their infrared (long distance) behavior. In particular we identify a longitudinal mode that remains massive in the infinite volume limit. These issues are then addressed by numerical simulation; the analysis of our data is compatible with the prediction that the longitudinal mode remains massive, i.e., that it undergoes an exponential decay, a feature unexpected in the droplet/scaling framework.
