We introduce a hierarchical class of approximations of the random Ising spin glass in $d$ dimensions. The attention is focused on finite clusters of spins where the action of the rest of the system is properly taken into account. At the…
The richness of the mean-field solution of simple glasses leaves many of its features challenging to interpret. A minimal model that illuminates glass physics the same way the random energy model clarifies spin glass behavior would…
Spin glasses are paradigmatic models that deliver concepts relevant for a variety of systems. However, rigorous analytical results are difficult to obtain for spin-glass models, in particular for realistic short-range models. Therefore…
Based on \cite{H}, it is well known that the rescaled two point correlation functions \[ \sqrt{N} \langle \sigma_i ; \sigma_j\rangle = \sqrt{N} \big( \langle \sigma_i \sigma_j\rangle -\langle \sigma_i\rangle \langle \sigma_j\rangle\big) \]…
An equivalent definition of entropic Ricci curvature on discrete spaces was given in terms of the global gradient estimate. With a particular choice of the density function $\rho$, we obtain a localized gradient estimate, which in turns…
We develop a mean-field theory for random quantum spin systems using the spin coherent state path integral representation. After the model is reduced to the mean field one-body Hamiltonian, the integral is analyzed with the aid of several…
We develop a model free energy from an expansion that basically includes graphs without loops. From this calculation, we derive the temperature dependence of the density (or specific volume), the typical time scale of the…

Spin-glasses are Gibbs distributions that have been studied in CS for many decades. Recently, they have gained renewed attention as they emerge naturally in learning, inference, optimisation etc. We consider the Edwards-Anderson (EA)…
We obtain the analogue of the Crisanti-Sommers variational formula for spherical spin glasses with vector spins. This formula is derived from the discrete Parisi variational formula for the limit of the free energy of constrained copies of…
We examined energy spectrums of some particular systems of binary spins. It is shown that the configuration space can be divided into classes, and in the limit the energy distributions in these classes can be approximated by the normal…
The full replica symmetry breaking free energy of the Ising spin glass on random regular graphs is given by the solutions of two auxiliary variational problems inside a global (physical) variational problem on the order parameter. In this…
Typical features of glass phenomenology such as the Vogel-Fulcher law, the Kauzmann paradox and the Adam-Gibbs relationship are shown to follow from the recently discovered mapping of glasses to Ising spin glasses in a magnetic field. There…
We show that mixing for local, reversible dynamics of mean field spin glasses is exponentially slow in the low temperature regime. We introduce a notion of free energy barriers for the overlap, and prove that their existence imply that the…
Methods for studying droplets in models with quenched disorder are critically examined. Low energy excitations in two dimensional models are investigated by finding minimal energy interior excitations and by computing the effect of bulk…
We study the free energy of a particle in (arbitrary) high-dimensional Gaussian random potentials with isotropic increments. We prove a computable saddle-point variational representation in terms of a Parisi-type functional for the free…
Prompted by recent experimental developments, a theory of surface scattering of fast atoms at grazing incidence is developed. The theory gives rise to a quantum mechanical limit for ordered surfaces that describes coherent diffraction peaks…
The spin glass behavior near zero temperature is a complicated matter. To get an easier access to the spin glass order parameter $Q(x)$ and, at the same time, keep track of $Q_{ab}$, its matrix aspect, and hence of the Hessian controlling…
The theory of normal variance mixture distributions is used to provide elementary derivations of closed-form expressions for the definite integrals $\int_0^\infty x^{-2\nu}\cos(bx)\gamma(\nu,\alpha x^2)\,\mathrm{d}x$ (for $\nu>1/2$, $b>0$…
