For a spatial characteristic, there exist commonly fat-tail frequency distributions of fragment-size and -mass of glass, areas enclosed by city roads, and pore size/volume in random packings. In order to give a new analytical approach for…
Phase transitions are one of the most interesting natural phenomena. For finite systems, one of the concerns in the topic is how to classify a specific transition as being of first, second, or even of a higher order, according to the…
Some interesting recent advances in the theoretical understanding of neural networks have been informed by results from the physics of disordered many-body systems. Motivated by these findings, this work uses the replica technique to study…
The phase transitions of the recently introduced 2A -> 3A, 4A -> 0 reaction-diffusion model (G.Odor, PRE 69 036112 (2004)) are explored in two dimensions. This model exhibits site occupation restriction and explicit diffusion of isolated…
In this letter we analyze the TAP approach to the spherical $p$-spin spin glass model in zero external field. The TAP free energy is derived by summing up all the relevant diagrams for $N\to\infty$ of a diagrammatic expansion of the free…
Matrix models have phase transitions in which distributions of variables change topologically like the Gross-Witten-Wadia transition. In a recent study, similar splitting-merging behavior of distributions of dynamical variables was observed…
In many biomedical applications with high-dimensional features, such as single-cell RNA-sequencing, it is not uncommon to observe numerous structural zeros. Identifying important features from a pool of high-dimensional data for subsequent…

We investigate an XY spin-glass model in which both spins and interactions (or couplings) evolve in time, but with widely separated time-scales. For large times this model can be solved using replica theory, requiring two levels of…
We present a numerical study of the Blume-Capel model with quenched disorder in 3D. The phase diagram is characterized by spin-glass/paramagnet phase transitions of both first and second order in the thermodynamic sense. Numerical…
We establish relations between different characterizations of order in spin glass models. We first prove that the broadening of the replica overlap distribution indicated by a nonzero standard deviation of the replica overlap $R^{1,2}$…

In these lectures I will study some properties that are shared by many glassy systems. I will shown how some of these properties can be understood in the framework of the mean field approach based on the replica method and I will discuss…
Contrary to the suggestion of Kitatani and Sinada (2000 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. {\bf 33} 3545-3553), the scaling analysis of the order parameter distributions suggests the existence of a finite-temperature spin-glass phase transition $T_c\ne…
Since the landmark work of Lee and Yang, locating the zeros of the partition function in the complex magnetic-field plane has become a powerful method for studying phase transitions. Fisher later extended this approach to complex…

We analyze thermodynamic behavior of general $n$-component mean-field spin glass models in order to identify origin of the hierarchical structure of the order parameters from the replica-symmetry breaking solution. We derive a…
A theoretical analysis [Angelani et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 065702 (2006)] predicts glassy behaviour of light in a nonlinear random medium. This implies slow dynamics related to the presence of many metastable states. We consider very…
