Testing the Edwards hypothesis in spin systems under tapping dynamics

چکیده
The Edwards hypothesis of ergodicity of blocked configurations for gently tapped granular materials is tested for abstract models of spin systems on random graphs and spin chains with kinetic constraints. The tapping dynamics is modeled by considering two distinct mechanisms of energy injection: thermal and random tapping. We find that ergodicity depends upon the tapping procedure (i.e. the way the blocked configurations are dynamically accessed): for thermal tapping ergodicity is a good approximation, while it fails to describe the asymptotic stationary state reached by the random tapping dynamics.

Time Dependent Local Field Distribution and Metastable States in the SK-Spin-Glass
Different sets of metastable states can be reached in glassy systems below some transition temperature depending on initial conditions and details of the dynamics. This is investigated for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass model with long ranged interactions. In particular, the time dependent local field distribution and energy are calculated for zero temperature. This is done for a system...
متن کاملEdwards measure and the steady state regime of a model with kinetic constraints under tapping
We study the tapping dynamics of a one dimensional Ising model with symmetric kinetic constraints. We define and test a variant of the Edwards hypothesis that one may build a thermodynamics for the steady state by using a flat measure over the metastable states with several macroscopic quantities fixed. Various types of tapping are compared and the accuracy of this measure becomes quickly excel...

T his paper is to study the convergence of per capita income. Convergence clubs hypothesis is one of the forms of convergence hypotheses, implying that countries with the same initial level of economic development, technology, and government policies, tend to be similar in per capita income and thus have a tendency to cluster around a small number of poles. In order to test the hypot...

This paper deals with the problem of testing statisticalhypotheses when the available data are fuzzy. In this approach, wefirst obtain a fuzzy test statistic based on fuzzy data, and then,based on a new signed distance between fuzzy numbers, we introducea new decision rule to accept/reject the hypothesis of interest.The proposed approach is investigated for two cases: the casewithout nuisance p...
متن کاملMechanism for the failure of the Edwards hypothesis in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass
The dynamics of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model at T=0 starting from random spin configurations is considered. The metastable states reached by such dynamics are atypical of such states as a whole, in that the probability density of site energies, p , is small at =0. Since virtually all metastable states have a much larger p 0 , this behavior demonstrates a qualitative failure of the Edwards ...
