Replica symmetry breaking and the nature of the spin glass phase

چکیده
2014 A probability distribution has been proposed recently by one of us as an order parameter for spin glasses. We show that this probability depends on the particular realization of the couplings even in the thermodynamic limit, and we study its distribution. We also show that the space of states has an ultrametric topology. J. Physique 45 (1984) 843-854 MAI 1984, Classification Physics Abstracts 75.50K

Reflection symmetry in mean–field replica–symmetric spin glasses
Abstract. The role of reflection symmetry breaking for the character of the appearance of replica symmetric spin glass state is investigated. We establish the following symmetry rule for classical systems with one order parameter in the replica symmetric mean field approximation. If in the pure system the transition to the ordered phase is of the second order, then in the corresponding random s...
متن کاملFirst - order transitions and triple point on a random p - spin interaction model
The effects of competing quadrupolar-and spin-glass orderings are investigated on a spin-1 Ising model with infinite-range random p-spin interactions. The model is studied through the replica approach and a phase diagram is obtained in the limit p → ∞. The phase diagram, obtained within replica-symmetry breaking, exhibits a very unusual feature in magnetic models: three first-order transition l...
متن کاملSite Disordered Spin Systems in the Gaussian Variational Approximation
We define a replica field theory describing finite dimensional site disordered spin systems by introducing the notion of grand canonical disorder, where the number of spins in the system is random but quenched. A general analysis of this field theory is made using the Gaussian variational or Hartree Fock method, and illustrated with several specific examples. Irrespective of the form of interac...
متن کاملFinite Dimensional Spin Glasses
We study the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem in the three and four dimensional Gaussian Ising spin glasses using on and off equilibrium simulations. We have characterized numerically the function X(C) that determine the violation and we have studied its scaling properties. Moreover we have computed the function x(C) which characterize the breaking of the replica symmetry direct...
متن کاملOrdering and Broken Symmetry in Short-Ranged Spin Glasses
In this topical review we discuss the nature of the low-temperature phase in both infiniteranged and short-ranged spin glasses. We analyze the meaning of pure states in spin glasses, and distinguish between physical, or “observable”, states and (probably) unphysical, “invisible” states. We review replica symmetry breaking, and describe what it would mean in shortranged spin glasses. We introduc...
