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…

In this paper we study two non-mean-field spin models built on a hierarchical lattice: The hierarchical Edward-Anderson model (HEA) of a spin glass, and Dyson's hierarchical model (DHM) of a ferromagnet. For the HEA, we prove the existence…
We address the problem of chaotic temperature dependence in disordered glassy systems at equilibrium by following states of a random-energy random-entropy model in temperature; of particular interest are the crossings of the free-energies…
