Crossover behaviour of a one dimensional Random Energy Model

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

In this note we formulate a finite dimensional generalization of the Random Energy Model (REM) where we introduce a geometry and spatial correlations between energies. We study the model in dimension one by transfer matrix techniques and we look at the crossover from one dimensional to mean-field behaviour. In a first version of the model the mean field limit reproduces the behaviour of the original REM, while a second version of the model exhibits a first order phase transition with a finite latent heat.
