Self-Organized Criticality in the Hysteresis of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study hysteretic phenomena in random ferromagnets. We argue that the angle dependent magnetostatic (dipolar) terms introduce frustration and long-range interactions in these systems. This makes it plausible that the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model may be able to capture some of the relevant physics of these systems. We use scaling arguments, replica calculations, and large scale numerical simulations to characterize the hysteresis of the zero temperature SK model. By constructing the distribution functions of the avalanche sizes, magnetization jumps, and local fields, we conclude that the system exhibits self-organized criticality everywhere on the hysteresis loop.

Self-organized critical behavior in Ising spin glasses
We have studied numerically the states reached in a quench from various temperatures in the onedimensional fully-connected Kotliar, Anderson and Stein Ising spin glass model. This is a model where there are long-range interactions between the spins which falls off as a power σ of their separation. We have made a detailed study in particular of the energies of the states reached in a quench from...
متن کاملSelf-organized criticality in a network of interacting neurons
This paper contains an analysis of a simple neural network that exhibits self-organized criticality. Such criticality follows from the combination of a simple neural network with an excitatory feedback loop that generates bistability, in combination with an anti-Hebbian synapse in its input pathway. Using the methods of statistical field theory, we show how one can formulate the stochastic dyna...
متن کاملRandom–Field Ising Models of Hysteresis
This is a review article of our work on hysteresis, avalanches, and criticality. We provide an extensive introduction to scaling and renormalization–group ideas, and discuss analytical and numerical results for size distributions, correlation functions, magnetization, avalanche durations and average avalanche shapes, and power spectra. We focus here on applications to magnetic Barkhausen noise,...
متن کاملError threshold in optimal coding, numerical criteria, and classes of universalities for complexity.
The free energy of the random energy model at the transition point between the ferromagnetic and spin glass phases is calculated. At this point, equivalent to the decoding error threshold in optimal codes, the free energy has finite size corrections proportional to the square root of the number of degrees. The response of the magnetization to an external ferromagnetic phase is maximal at values...
متن کاملOn the Distribution of Overlaps in the Sherrington-kirkpatrick Spin Glass Model
|This expository paper describes some of the analytic tools developed recently by S. Ghirlanda and F. Guerra in the investigation of the distribution of overlaps in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass model and of Parisi's ultrametricity. In particular, we introduce to this task a simpliied model on which the Gaussian analysis is made easier, and describe, under the essential tool of self-av...
