The critical behaviour of the dynamical transition of glassy system is controlled by a Replica Symmetric action with n=1 replicas. The most divergent diagrams in the loop expansion correspond at all orders to the solutions of a stochastic…
We obtain a general formula for the distribution of sizes of "static avalanches", or shocks, in generic mean-field glasses with replica-symmetry-breaking saddle points. For the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) spin-glass it yields the density…
Disordered systems generically exhibit aging and a glass transition. Previous studies have long suggested that non-reciprocity tends to destroy glassiness. Here, we show that this is not always the case using a bipartite spherical…
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…

A detailed numerical study is made of relaxation at equilibrium in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Ising spin glass model, at and above the critical temperature Tg. The data show a long time stretched exponential relaxation q(t) ~…
We present an ansatz for the ground states of the Quantum Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, a paradigmatic model for quantum spin glasses. Our ansatz, based on the concept of generalized coherent states, very well captures the fundamental…
We compute analytically the probability distribution of large deviations in the spin-glass free energy for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field model, i.e. we compute the exponentially small probability of finding a system with intensive…
Histopolation, or interpolation on segments, is a mathematical technique used to approximate a function $f$ over a given interval $I=[a,b]$ by exploiting integral information over a set of subintervals of $I$. Unlike classical polynomial…
