We consider spin glass models with non-centered interactions and investigate the effect, on the random free energies, of flipping the interaction in a subregion of the entire volume. A fluctuation bound obtained by martingale methods…
We consider the free energy difference restricted to a finite volume for certain pairs of incongruent thermodynamic states (if they exist) in the Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass at nonzero temperature. We prove that the variance of this…
We investigate scenarios in which the low-temperature phase of short-range spin glasses comprises thermodynamic states which are nontrivial mixtures of multiple incongruent pure state pairs. We construct a new kind of metastate supported on…
We consider the spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of spin glass with sparse interaction, where the interactions between most of the pairs of the spin variables are possibly zero. With suitable normalization, we prove that the limiting…
The replica method has been used to calculate the interface free energy associated with the change from periodic to anti-periodic boundary conditions in finite-dimensional spin glasses. At mean-field level the interface free energy vanishes…
We show that the free energy in the mixed $p$-spin models of spin glasses does not superconcentrate in the presence of external field, which means that its variance is of the order suggested by the Poincar\'e inequality. This complements…
We analyze the free energy and the overlaps in the 2-spin spherical Sherrington Kirkpatrick spin glass model with an external field for the purpose of understanding the transition between this model and the one without an external field. We…
In this paper I introduce the probability distribution of the local overlap in spin glasses. The properties of the local overlaps are studied in details. These quantities are related to the recently proposed local version of the fluctuation…
It is generally believed (but not yet proved) that Ising spin glasses with nearest-neighbor interactions have a phase transition in three and higher dimensions to a low-temperature spin glass phase, but the nature of this phase remains…
We prove the convergence in distribution of the fluctuations of the free energy of the mixed $p$-spin Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with non-vanishing $2$-spin component at high enough temperature. The limit is Gaussian, and the…
The scaling of fluctuations in the distribution of ground-state energies or costs with the system size N for Ising spin glasses is considered using an extensive set of simulations with the Extremal Optimization heuristic across a range of…
In certain mean field models for spin glasses there occurs a one step replica symmetry breaking pattern. As an example of general $1/N$-corrections in such systems, the fluctuations in the internal energy are calculated. For this specific…
The sample-to-sample fluctuations of the free energy in finite-dimensional Ising spin glasses are calculated, using the replica method, from higher order terms in the replica number $n$. It is shown that the Parisi symmetry breaking scheme…
Aim of this work is not trying to explore a macroscopic behavior of some recent model in statistical mechanics but showing how some recent techniques developed within the framework of spin glasses do work on simpler model, focusing on the…
In this paper I will consider many of the various definitions of the overlap and of its probability distribution that have been introduced in the literature starting from the original papers of Edwards and Anderson; I will present also some…
Sample-to-sample free energy fluctuations in spin-glasses display a markedly different behaviour in finite-dimensional and fully-connected models, namely Gaussian vs. non-Gaussian. Spin-glass models defined on various types of random graphs…
Excitations of three-dimensional spin glasses are computed numerically. We find that one can flip a finite fraction of an LxLxL lattice with an O(1) energy cost, confirming the mean field picture of a non-trivial spin overlap distribution…
We provide a strategy to find in few elementary calculations the critical exponents of the overlaps for dilute spin glasses, in absence of external field. Such a strategy is based on the expansion of a suitably perturbed average of the…
Using computer simulations of an atomistic glass-forming liquid, we investigate the fluctuations of the overlap between a fluid configuration and a quenched reference system. We find that large fluctuations of the overlap develop as…
We study the fluctuation-dissipation relations for a three dimensional Ising spin glass in a magnetic field both in the high temperature phase as well as in the low temperature one. In the region of times simulated we have found that our…
