Interfaces and Lower Critical Dimension in a Spin Glass Model

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

In this paper we try to estimate the lower critical dimension for replica symmetry breaking in spin glasses through the calculation of the additional free-energy required to create a domain wall between two different phases. This mechanism alone would say that replica symmetry would be restored at the lower critical dimension Dc=2.5D_c =2.5.
