On the replica approach to glasses

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2008-02-03 v1 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

Here we review the approach to glassy systems based on the replica method and we introduce the main ingredients of replica symmetry breaking. We explain why the replica method has been successful in spin glass and why it should be successful for real glasses.
