The Blume-Emery-Griffiths spin glass is studied by renormalization-group theory in d=3. The boundary between the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases has first-order and two types of second-order segments. This topology includes an…
The critical behavior of a family of fully connected mean-field models with quenched disorder, the $M-p$ Ising spin glass, is analyzed, displaying a crossover between a continuous and a random first order phase transition as a control…
The number $\langle N_s\rangle$ of solutions of the equations of Thouless, Anderson and Palmer for p--spin interaction spin glass models is calculated. Below a critical temperature $T_c$ this number becomes exponentially large, as it is in…
It is shown that continuously changing the effective number of interacting particles in p-spin-glass-like model allows to describe the transition from the full replica symmetry breaking glass solution to stable first replica symmetry…
In this paper we investigate the marginally stable nature of the low-temperature trivial spin glass phase in the spherical $p=2$ spin glass, by perturbing the system with three different kinds of non-linear interactions. In particular, we…
A relation between a class of stationary points of the energy landscape of continuous spin models on a lattice and the configurations of a Ising model defined on the same lattice suggests an approximate expression for the microcanonical…
We show that fermion systems with random interactions lead to strong coupling of glassy order and fermionic correlations, which culminates in the implementation of Parisi replica permutation symmetry breaking (RPSB) in their T=0 quantum…
In this work we discuss a short range version of the $p$-spin model. The model is provided with a parameter that allows to control the crossover with the mean field behaviour. We detect a discrepancy between the perturbative approach and…
We study the global phase diagram of the infinite range Blume-Emery-Griffiths model both in the canonical and in the microcanonical ensembles. The canonical phase diagram is known to exhibit first order and continuous transition lines…
Glassy behavior is one of the main open problems in condensed matter physics. In this thesis, we approach the problem by studying spin-glasses and colloids, using several complementary strategies. From the point of view of model building,…
We use a simple mode-coupling approach to investigate glassy dynamics of partially pinned fluid systems. Our approach is different from the mode-coupling theory developed by Krakoviack [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 065703 (2005), Phys. Rev. E 84,…
These are notes for a mini-course on the extremes of correlated random fields which I gave in the spring 2013 in Marseille. The first chapter recalls the paradigmatic random energy models with finitely many scales introduced by B. Derrida…
We develop a generalized TAP approach for the multi-species version of the spherical mixed $p$-spin models. In particular, we prove a generalized TAP representation for the free energy at any overlap vector which is multi-samplable in an…
While in the fully-connected limit the solution of the spin-glass model is known, with the existence of a complex transition on a critical line in the temperature-external field phase diagram, in finite dimensions we don't know if a…
In this paper we study the phase diagram of the disordered Ising ferromagnet. Within the framework of the Gaussian variational approximation it is shown that in systems with a finite value of the disorder in dimensions D=4 and D < 4 the…
We study the free energy for pure and mixed spherical $p$-spin models with i.i.d.\ disorder. In the mixed case, each $p$-interaction layer is assumed either to have regularly varying tails with exponent $\alpha_p$ or to satisfy a finite…
We study the problem of testing and recovering $k$-clique Ferromagnetic mean shift in the planted Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model (i.e., a type of spin glass model) with $n$ spins. The planted SK model -- a stylized mixture of an uncountable…
We introduce a new parameter to investigate replica symmetry breaking transitions using finite-size scaling methods. Based on exact equalities initially derived by F. Guerra this parameter is a direct check of the self-averaging character…
These notes give an introduction to the physics of the infinite range version of the Edwards--Anderson model, the so-called Sherrington--Kirkpatrick model. In a first part, I motivate and introduce the Edwards--Anderson and…
We generalize the de Almeida-Thouless line for the many-body Ising spin glass to the microcanonical ensemble and show that it coincides with the canonical one. This enables us to draw a complete microcanonical phase diagram of this model.
