چکیده
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 the RSB picture from the internal contradictions that rule out its physical correctness in finite dimensions at low temperature in large finite volume.

Temperature chaos in a replica symmetry broken spin glass model - A hierarchical model with temperature chaos
– Temperature chaos is an extreme sensitivity of the equilibrium state to a change of temperature. It arises in several disordered systems that are described by the so called scaling theory of spin glasses, while it seems to be absent in mean field models. We consider a model spin glass on a tree and show that although it has mean field behavior with replica symmetry breaking, it manifestly has...
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...
متن کاملNumerical results for ground states of mean-field spin glasses at low connectivities
An extensive list of results for the ground-state properties of spin glasses on random graphs is presented. These results provide a timely benchmark for currently developing theoretical techniques based on replica symmetry breaking that are being tested on mean-field models at low connectivity. Comparison with existing replica results for such models verifies the strength of those techniques. Y...
متن کامل2 00 6 Spin glass behaviour on random lattices
The ground-state phase diagram of an Ising spin-glass model on a random graph with an arbitrary fraction (w) of ferromagnetic interactions is analysed in the presence of an external field. Using the replica method, and performing an analysis of stability of the replica-symmetric solution, it was shown that w = 1/2, correponding to an unbiased spin glass, is a singular point in the phase diagram...
متن کاملNew Insights from One-Dimensional Spin Glasses
The concept of replica symmetry breaking found in the solution of the mean-field Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass model has been applied to a variety of problems in science ranging from biological to computational and even financial analysis. Thus it is of paramount importance to understand which predictions of the mean-field solution apply to non-mean-field systems, such as realistic shortra...
