– We propose an indirect way of studying the fluctuation-dissipation relation in spin-glasses that only uses available susceptibility data. It is based on a dynamic extension of the Parisi-Toulouse approximation and a Curie-Weiss treatment of the average magnetic couplings. We present the results of the analysis of several sets of experimental data obtained from various samples. Introduction.— ...

A calculation which describes the spin-up of toroidal plasmas by the radial propagation of turbulence fronts with broken parallel symmetry is presented. The associated flux of parallel momentum is calculated by using a two-scale direct-interaction approximation in the weak turbulence limit. We show that fluctuation momentum spreads faster than mean flow momentum. Specifically, the turbulent flu...

The time evolution of an exactly solvable layered feedforward neural network with three-state neurons and optimizing the mutual information is studied for arbitrary synaptic noise (temperature). Detailed stationary temperature-capacity and capacity-activity phase diagrams are obtained. The model exhibits pattern retrieval, pattern-fluctuation retrieval and spin-glass phases. It is found that th...
