Topological frustration (or topological mechanics) is the existence of classical zero modes that are robust to many but not all distortions of the Hamiltonian. It arises naturally from locality in systems whose interactions form a set of…

The frustrated q-state Potts model is solved exactly on a hierarchical lattice, yielding chaos under rescaling, namely the signature of a spin-glass phase, as previously seen for the Ising (q=2) model. However, the ground-state entropy…
