We study numerically a disordered model that interpolates among the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field model and the three dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin glass. We find that averages over the disorder of powers of the overlap and of the…
To establish a unified framework for studying both discrete and continuous coupling distributions, we introduce the {\it binomial} spin glass, a class of models where the couplings are sums of $m$ identically distributed Bernoulli random…
We consider vector spin glass models with self-overlap correction. Since the limit of free energy is an infimum, we use arguments analogous to those for generic models to show the following: 1) the averaged self-overlap converges; 2) the…

We study the equilibrium properties of an Ising frustrated lattice gas with a mean field replica approach. This model bridges usual {\em Spin Glasses} and a version of {\em Frustrated Percolation} model, and has proven relevant to describe…
An infinite range spin glass like model for granular systems is introduced and studied through the replica mean field formalism. Equilibrium, density dependent properties under vibration and gravity are obtained.
We prove a Parisi formula for the limiting free energy of multi-species spherical spin glasses with mixed $p$-spin interactions. The upper bound involves a Guerra-style interpolation and requires a convexity assumption on the model's…
Glass phases can be stabilized by quenched disorders, as in most spin-glass materials, or self-generated through kinetic freezing in disorder-free systems. A canonical example of the latter is structural glasses, which have been extensively…
We analyze the free energy and the overlaps in the 2-spin spherical Sherrington Kirkpatrick spin glass model with an external field for the purpose of understanding the transition between this model and the one without an external field. We…
Low temperature properties of glasses are derived within a generalized tunneling model, considering the motion of charged particles on a closed path in a double-well potential. The presence of a magnetic induction field B violates the time…
