2 N ov 1 99 9 How to break the replica symmetry in structural glasses

چکیده
The variational principle (VP) has been used to capture the metastable states of a glass-forming molecular system without quenched disorder. It has been shown that VP naturally leads to a self-consistent random field Ginzburg-Landau model (RFGLM). In the framework of one-step replica symmetry breaking (1-RSB) the general solution of RFGLM is discussed in the vicinity of the spinodal temperature T A in terms of " hidden " formfactors˜g(k), g 0 (k) and ∆(k). The self-generated disorder spontaneously arises. It is argued that at T < T A the activated dynamics is dominant.

4 N ov 1 99 6 Vector breaking of replica symmetry in some low temperature disordered systems
We present a new method to study disordered systems in the low temperature limit. The method uses the replicated Hamiltonian. It studies the saddle points of this Hamiltonian and shows how the various saddle point contributions can be resummed in order to obtain the scaling behaviour at low temperatures. In a large class of strongly disordered systems, it is necessary to include saddle points o...

In this paper we try to estimate the lower critical dimension for replica symmetry breaking in spin glasses through the calculation of the additional free-energy required to create a domain wall between two different phases. This mechanism alone would say that replica symmetry would be restored at the lower critical dimension D c = 2.5.

We construct a real space renormalization group (RG) approach for Ising spin glasses on hypercubic lattices within the scheme of the Migdal-Kadanoff approximation using replicas. Our replica symmetric solution yields results consistent with simple decimation previously obtained and the introduction of breaking of replica symmetry within the RG is discussed, which inserts in a natural fashion no...

We prove the impossibility of recent attempts to decouple the Replica Symmetry Breaking (RSB) picture for finite-dimensional spin glasses from the existence of many thermodynamic (i.e., infinite-volume) pure states while preserving another signature RSB feature — space filling relative domain walls between different finite-volume states. Thus revisions of the notion of pure states cannot shield...

We discuss interfaces in spin glasses. We present new theoretical results and a numerical method to characterize overlap interfaces and the stability of the spinglass phase in extended disordered systems. We use this definition to characterize the low temperature phase of hierarchical spin-glass models. We use the Replica Symmetry Breaking theory to evaluate the cost for an overlap interface, w...
