Saddle Points Stability in the Replica Approach Off Equilibrium

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We study the replica free energy surface for a spin glass model near the glassy temperature. In this model the simplicity of the equilibrium solution hides non trivial metastable saddle points. By means of the stability analysis performed for one and two real replicas constrained, an interpretation for some of them is achieved.
