We present an elementary approach to the order of fluctuations for the free energy in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass model at and near the critical temperature. It is proved that at the critical temperature the variance…
We provide rigorous proofs which show that the main features of the Parisi solution of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass are not valid for more realistic spin glass models in any dimension and at any temperature.
The distribution of partition function zeros is studied for the $\pm J$ model of spin glasses on the Bethe lattice. We find a relation between the distribution of complex cavity fields and the density of zeros, which enables us to obtain…
In previous work, we have developed a simple method to study the behavior of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass model for high temperatures, or equivalently for high external fields. The basic idea was to couple two different…
Excluding some special cases, computing the critical inverse-temperature $\beta_c$ of a mixed $p$-spin spin glass model is a difficult task. The only known method to calculate its value for a general model requires the full power of the…
By using real space renormalisation group (RG) methods we show that spin-glasses in a field display a new kind of transition in high dimensions. The corresponding critical properties and the spin-glass phase are governed by two…
We consider the problem of temperature chaos in mean-field spin-glass models defined on random lattices with finite connectivity. By means of an expansion in the order parameter we show that these models display a much stronger chaos effect…
We study finite-size corrections to the free energy of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass in the low temperature phase. We investigate the role of longitudinal fluctuations in these corrections, neglecting the transverse contribution.…
We study numerically the paramagnetic phase of the spin-1/2 random transverse-field Ising chain, using a mapping to non-interacting fermions. We extend our earlier work, Phys. Rev. 53, 8486 (1996), to finite temperatures and to dynamical…
We have studied numerically the states reached in a quench from various temperatures in the one-dimensional fully-connected Kotliar, Anderson and Stein Ising spin glass model. This is a model where there are long-range interactions between…
