By controlling quantum fluctuations via the Falk-Bruch inequality we give the first rigorous argument for the existence of a spin-glass phase in the quantum Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with a transverse magnetic field if the temperature…
Numerical results up to 42nd order of replica symmetry breaking (RSB) are used to predict the singular structure of the SK spin glass at T=0. We confirm predominant single parameter scaling and derive corrections for the T=0 order function…

We prove that the Parisi measure of the mixed p-spin model at zero temperature has infinitely many points in its support. This establishes Parisi's prediction that the functional order parameter of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model is not a…

A recent interesting paper [Yucesoy et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 177204 (2012), arXiv:1206:0783] compares the low-temperature phase of the 3D Edwards-Anderson (EA) model to its mean-field counterpart, the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model.…
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…
Properties of Random Overlap Structures (ROSt)'s constructed from the Edwards-Anderson (EA) Spin Glass model on $\Z^d$ with periodic boundary conditions are studied. ROSt's are $\N\times\N$ random matrices whose entries are the overlaps of…
One of the key predictions of Parisi's broken replica symmetry theory of spin glasses is the existence of a phase transition in an applied field to a state with broken replica symmetry. This transition takes place at the de Almeida-Thouless…
The Potts spin glass is a generalization of the Sherrington--Kirkpatrick (SK) model that allows for spins to take more than two values. Based on a novel synchronization mechanism, Panchenko (2018) showed that the limiting free energy is…

I consider branches of Replica-Symmetry-Breaking (RSB) solutions in Glassy systems that display a dynamical transition at a temperature $T_d$ characterized by a Mode-Coupling-Theory dynamical behavior. Below $T_d$ these branches of…
We prove the impossibility of recent attempts to decouple the Replica Symmetry Breaking (RSB) picture for finite-dimensional spin glasses from the existence of many thermodynamic (i.e., infinite-volume) pure states while preserving another…
Consider a correlated Gaussian random energy model built by successively adding one particle (spin) into the system and imposing the positivity of the associated covariance matrix. We show that the validity of a recently isolated condition…

In this topical review we discuss the nature of the low-temperature phase in both infinite-ranged and short-ranged spin glasses. We analyze the meaning of pure states in spin glasses, and distinguish between physical, or ``observable'',…
The magnetic systems with disorder form an important class of systems, which are under intensive studies, since they reflect real systems. Such a class of systems is the spin glass one, which combines randomness and frustration. The…

We propose a general quantitative scheme in which systems are given the freedom to sacrifice energy equi-partitioning on the relevant time-scales of observation, and have phase transitions by separating autonomously into ergodic sub-systems…
