Abstract

The spin-glass qq-state Potts model on dd-dimensional diamond hierarchical lattices is investigated by an exact real space renormalization group scheme. Above a critical dimension dl(q)d_l(q) for q>2q > 2, the coupling constants probability distribution flows to a low-temperature \emph{strange attractor} or to the high-temperature paramagnetic fixed point, according to the temperature is below or above the critical temperature Tc(q,d)T_c(q,d). The strange attractor was investigated considering four initial different distributions for q=3q = 3 and d=5d = 5 presenting strong robustness in shape and temperature interval suggesting a condensed phase with algebraic decay.
