We consider the Potts model on a two-dimensional periodic rectangular lattice with general coupling constants $J_{ij}>0$, where $i,j\in\{1,2,3\}$ are the possible spin values (or colors). The resulting energy landscape is thus significantly…
Truly stable metastable states are an artifact of the mean-field approximation or the zero temperature limit. If such appealing concepts in glass theory as configurational entropy are to have a meaning beyond these approximations, one needs…
The static behavior of orientational glasses is discussed in terms of a replica theory based on the infinite range random bond--random field model. A general version of the model applicable to dipolar and quadrupolar glasses is presented…
Glassiness occurs when disorder and frustration cause local degrees of freedom to freeze despite the lack of long-range order. In systems of interacting bosons, such glassiness may involve a purely quantum degree of…
We study the thermodynamic properties and the phase diagrams of a multi-spin antiferromagnetic spherical spin-glass model using the replica method. It is a two-sublattice version of the ferromagnetic spherical p-spin glass model. We…
A hybrid Potts model where a random concentration $p$ of the spins assume $q_0$ states and a random concentration $1-p$ of the spins assume $q>q_0$ states is introduced. It is known that when the system is homogeneous, with an integer spin…
We present a self-consistent local approach to self generated glassiness which is based on the concept of the dynamical mean field theory to many body systems. Using a replica approach to self generated glassiness, we map the problem onto…
We explore the Potts model on the generalized decorated square lattice, with both nearest (J1) and next-neighbor (J2) interactions. Using the tensor renormalization-group method augmented by higher-order singular value decompositions, we…
A model for weakly excited granular media is derived by combining the free volume argument of Nowak et al. [Phys. Rev. E 57, 1971 (1998)] and the phenomenological model for supercooled liquids of Adam and Gibbs [J. Chem. Phys. 43, 139…
We introduce a family of glassy models having a parameter, playing the role of an interaction range, that may be varied continuously to go from a system of particles in d dimensions to a mean-field version of it. The mean-field limit is…
In this work we study numerically a short range p-spin glass model in three dimensions. The behaviour of the model appears to be remarkably different from mean field predictions. In fact it shares some features typical of models with full…
Since its introduction, the Potts model has gained widespread popularity across various fields due to its diverse applications. Even minor advancements in this model continue to captivate scientists worldwide, and small modifications often…
In Bayesian inference, computing the posterior distribution from the data is typically a non-trivial problem, which usually requires approximations such as mean-field approaches or numerical methods, like the Monte Carlo Markov Chain. Being…
In a $p$-spin interaction spherical spin-glass model both the spins and the couplings are allowed to change in the course of time. The spins are coupled to a heat bath with temperature $T$, while the coupling constants are coupled to a bath…
An analytical approach, which develops the gauge model of the glass transition phenomenon, is suggested. It is based on the quantum field theory and critical dynamics methods. The suggested mechanism of glass transition is based on the…
Recent work has suggested the existence of glassy behavior in a ferromagnetic model with a four-spin interaction. Motivated by these findings, we have studied the dynamics of this model using Monte Carlo simulations with particular…
We study a quantum extension of the spherical $p$-spin-glass model using the imaginary-time replica formalism. We solve the model numerically and we discuss two analytical approximation schemes that capture most of the features of the…

The Potts model is one of the most popular spin models of statistical physics. The prevailing majority of work done so far corresponds to the lattice version of the model. However, many natural or man-made systems are much better described…
We study the low temperature phase of the 3D Coulomb glass within a mean field approach which reduces the full problem to an effective single site model with a non-trivial replica structure. We predict a finite glass transition temperature…
