Surface Tension in Kac Glass Models

Statistical Mechanics 2015-05-14 v2 Disordered Systems and Neural Networks

Abstract

In this paper we study a distance-dependent surface tension, defined as the free-energy cost to put metastable states at a given distance. This will be done in the framework of a disordered microscopic model with Kac interactions that can be solved in the mean-field limit.
