Absence of an Almeida-Thouless line in Three-Dimensional Spin Glasses

Abstract

We present results of Monte Carlo simulations of the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass in the presence of a (random) field. A finite-size scaling analysis of the correlation length shows no indication of a transition, in contrast to the zero-field case. This suggests that there is no Almeida-Thouless line for short-range Ising spin glasses.
