A new approach to combinatorial optimization based on systematic move-class deflation is proposed. The algorithm combines heuristics of genetic algorithms and simulated annealing, and is mainly entropy-driven. It is tested on two problems…
We study numerically the properties of local low-energy excitations in the two-dimensional Ising spin glass. Given the ground state, we determine the lowest-lying connected cluster of flipped spins containing one given spin, either with a…
Antiferromagnetic Ising models on frustrated lattices can realize classical spin liquids, with highly degenerate ground states and, possibly, fractionalized excitations and emergent gauge fields. Motivated by the recent interest in…

The nature of ordering in dilute dipolar interacting systems dates back to the work of Debye and is one of the most basic, oldest and as-of-yet unsettled problems in magnetism. While spin-glass order is readily observed in several…
Spin glasses are disordered magnets with random interactions that are, generally, in conflict with each other. Finding the ground states of spin glasses is not only essential for the understanding of the nature of disordered magnetic and…
A renormalization group transformation suitable for spin glass models and, more generally, for disordered models, is presented. The procedure is non-standard in both the nature of the additional interactions and the coarse graining…
The spin glasses show intriguing characteristic features that are not well understood yet, as for instance its aging, rejuvenation and memory effects. Here a model based on a stretched exponential decay of its magnetization is proposed,…
The growing correlation length observed in supercooled liquids as their temperature is lowered has been studied with the aid of a single occupancy cell model. This model becomes more accurate as the density of the system is increased. One…
We present a numerical study of ground states of the dilute versions of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) mean-field spin glass. In contrast to so-called "sparse" mean-field spin glasses that have been studied widely on random networks of…
A version of the extremal optimization (EO) algorithm introduced by Boettcher and Percus is tested on 2D and 3D spin glasses with Gaussian disorder. EO preferentially flips spins that are locally ``unfit''; the variant introduced here…
Large numbers of ground states of two-dimensional Ising spin glasses with periodic boundary conditions in both directions are calculated for sizes up to 40^2. A combination of a genetic algorithm and Cluster-Exact Approximation is used. For…
We investigate numerically disorder chaos in spin glasses, i.e. the sensitivity of the ground state to small changes of the random couplings. Our study focuses on the Edwards-Anderson model in d=1,2,3 and in mean-field. We find that in all…
We summarize a theoretical framework based on global time-reparametrization invariance that explains the origin of dynamic fluctuations in glassy systems. We introduce the main ideas without getting into much technical details. We describe…

A spin glass is a diluted magnetic material in which the magnetic moments are randomly interacting, with a huge number of metastable states which prevent reaching equilibrium. Spin-glass models are conceptually simple, but require very…
