Mean field theory of spin glasses: statics and dynamics

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2007-06-04 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

In these lectures I will review some theoretical results that have been obtained for spin glasses. I will concentrate my attention on the formulation of the mean field approach and on its numerical and experimental verifications. I will present the various hypothesis at the basis of the theory and I will discuss their mathematical and physical status.
