We study the random energy model with a hierarchical structure known as the generalized random energy model (GREM). In contrast to the original analysis by the microcanonical ensemble formalism, we investigate the GREM by the canonical…
Michel Talagrand played a decisive role in the transformation of mean-field spin glass theory into a rigorous mathematical subject. This chapter offers a narrative account of that development. We begin with the physical origins of the…
A formalism capable of handling the first step of hierarchical replica symmetry breaking in finite-connectivity models is introduced. The emerging order parameter is claimed to be a probability distribution over the space of field…
The understanding of thermodynamic glass transition has been hindered by the lack of proper models beyond mean-field theories. Here, we propose a three-dimensional lattice glass model on a simple cubic lattice that exhibits the typical…
Over the past 50 years, spin glass models have generated a broad range of literature in mathematics, physics, and computer science. There has been much progress in characterizing and proving the limiting free energy of various models,…
In order to study certain questions concerning the distribution of the overlap in Sherrington--Kirkpatrick type models, such as the chaos and ultrametricity problems, it seems natural to study the free energy of multiple systems with…
In this paper we consider a system of spins that consists of two configurations $\vsi^1,\vsi^2\in\Sigma_N=\{-1,+1\}^N$ with Gaussian Hamiltonians $H_N^1(\vsi^1)$ and $H_N^2(\vsi^2)$ correspondingly, and these configurations are coupled on…
We extend two rigorous results of Aizenman, Lebowitz, and Ruelle in their pioneering paper of 1987 on the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass model without external magnetic field to the quantum case with a "transverse field" of strength…
For the Edwards-Anderson Ising spin-glass model in three and four dimensions (3d and 4d) we have performed high statistics Monte Carlo calculations of those free-energy barriers $F^q_B$ which are visible in the probability density $P_J(q)$…
We derive the TAP equations for the fermionic Ising spin glass. It is found that, just as in the non-fermionic model, the conditions for stability and for validity of the free energy are equivalent. We determine the breakdown of the…
We study the free energy of mixed $p$-spin spin glass models enriched with an additional magnetic field given by the canonical Gaussian field associated with a Ruelle probability cascade. We prove that this free energy converges to the…
At sufficiently low temperatures, the configurational phase space of a large spin-glass system breaks into many separated domains, each of which is referred to as a macroscopic state. The system is able to visit all spin configurations of…
We extend the approach of Aizenman, Sims and Starr for the SK-type models to their spherical versions. Such an extension has already been performed for diluted spin glasses. The factorization property of the optimal structures found by…
The distribution of solutions of the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer equation is studied by extensive numerical experiments for fully connected 3-body interaction Ising spin glass models in a level of annealed calculation. A recent study predicted…
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…
We consider vector spin glasses whose energy function is a Gaussian random field with covariance given in terms of the matrix of scalar products. For essentially any model in this class, we give an upper bound for the limit free energy,…
We study the spin glass system consisting of a Random Energy Model coupled with a random magnetic field. This system was investigated by de Oliveira Filho, da Costa and Yokoi (Phys. Rev. E 74 [2006]) who computed the free energy. In this…
We consider the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model and we prove that the thermodynamic limit of the quenched free energy per site is strictly greater than the corresponding replica symmetric approximation, for all values of the temperature and…
We study numerically the structure of metastable states in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass. We find that all non-paramagnetic stationary points of the free energy are organized into pairs, consisting in a minimum and a saddle of…
We solve the random energy model when the energies of the configurations take only integer values. In the thermodynamic limit, the average overlaps remain size dependent and oscillate as the system size increases. While the extensive part…
