By applying a recently proposed mapping, we derive exactly the upper phase boundary of several Ising spin glass models defined over static graphs and random graphs, generalizing some known results and providing new ones.
We introduce a simple two-dimensional spin model with short-range interactions which shows glassy behavior despite a Hamiltonian which is completely homogeneous and possesses no randomness. We solve exactly for both the static partition…

Glass-forming liquids have been extensively studied in recent decades, but there is still no theory that fully describes these systems, and the diversity of treatments is in itself a barrier to understanding. Here we introduce a new simple…
We address the problem of chaotic temperature dependence in disordered glassy systems at equilibrium by following states of a random-energy random-entropy model in temperature; of particular interest are the crossings of the free-energies…

Estimating the density of states of systems with rugged free energy landscapes is a notoriously difficult task of the utmost importance in many areas of physics ranging from spin glasses to biopolymers. Density of states estimation has also…

The aim of this work is to prove that it is possible to realise an optical system which produces as output a light intensity that can be expressed in the same mathematical form of the spin glass Hamiltonian. The optical system under study…
Let $W$ be a random variable with mean zero and variance $\sigma^2$. The distribution of a variate $W^*$, satisfying $EWf(W)=\sigma ^2 Ef'(W^*)$ for smooth functions $f$, exists uniquely and defines the zero bias transformation on the…
It is a salient experimental fact that a large fraction of candidate spin liquid materials freeze as the temperature is lowered. The question naturally arises whether such freezing is intrinsic to the spin liquid ("disorder-free…
We consider a general class of spin systems with potentially unbounded real-valued spins, defined via a single-site potential with super-Gaussian tails on general graphs, allowing for both short- and long-range interactions. This class…

We use a random pinning procedure to investigate stable glassy states associated with large deviations of the activity in a model glass-former. We pin particles both from active (equilibrium) configurations and from stable (inactive) glassy…
