Pair correlation function for spin glasses

Abstract

We extract a pair correlation function (PCF) from probability distributions of the spin-overlap parameter q. The distributions come from Monte Carlo simulations. A measure, w, of the thermal fluctuations of magnetic patterns follows from the PCFs. We also obtain rms deviations (over different system samples) delta_p away from average probabilities for q. For the linear system-sizes LL we have studied, (i) w and delta_p are independent of L in the Edwards-Anderson model but scale as 1/L and sqrt{L}, respectively, in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrik model.
