Generalised Bose-Einstein phase transition in large-$m$ component spin glasses

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

It is proposed to understand finite dimensional spin glasses using a 1/m1/m expansion, where mm is the number of spin components. It is shown that this approach predicts a replica symmetric state in finite dimensions. The point about which the expansion is made, the infinite-mm limit, has been studied in the mean-field limit in detail and has a very unusual phase transition, rather similar to a Bose-Einstein phase transition but with N2/5N^{2/5} macroscopically occupied low-lying states.
