Realistic spin glasses below eight dimensions: a highly disordered view

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2009-10-31 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

By connecting realistic spin glass models at low temperature to the highly disordered model at zero temperature, we argue that ordinary Edwards-Anderson spin glasses below eight dimensions have at most a single pair of physically relevant pure states at nonzero low temperature. Less likely scenarios that evade this conclusion are also discussed.
