Abstract

We have studied low-lying metastable states of the ±J\pm J Heisenberg model in two (d=2d=2) and three (d=3d=3) dimensions having developed a hybrid genetic algorithm. We have found a strong evidence of the occurrence of the Parisi states in d=3d=3 but not in d=2d=2. That is, in LdL^d lattices, there exist metastable states with a finite excitation energy of ΔEO(J)\Delta E \sim O(J) for LL \to \infty, and energy barriers ΔW\Delta W between the ground state and those metastable states are ΔWO(JLθ)\Delta W \sim O(JL^{\theta}) with θ>0\theta > 0 in d=3d=3 but with θ<0\theta < 0 in d=2d=2. We have also found droplet-like excitations, suggesting a mixed scenario of the replica-symmetry-breaking picture and the droplet picture recently speculated in the Ising SG model.
