The random energy model (REM) is the simplest spin glass model which exhibits replica symmetry breaking. It is well known since the 80's that its overlaps are non-selfaveraging and that their statistics satisfy the predictions of the…
I discuss results from numerical simulations of finite dimensional spin glass models, and show that they show all signatures of a mean field like behavior, basically coinciding with the one of the Parisi solution. I discuss the Binder…
