Exact ground states are calculated for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) spin-glass containing up to N=90 spins. A ground-state energy per spin $e^{\infty}_0 = - 0.7637 \pm 0.0004$ is found from the $N$ dependence of the misfit parameter,…
In realistic disordered systems, such as the Edwards-Anderson (EA) spin glass, no order parameter, such as the Parisi overlap distribution, can be both translation-invariant and non-self-averaging. The standard mean-field picture of the EA…

We revisit the Haake-Lewenstein-Wilkens (HLW) approach to Edwards-Anderson (EA) model of Ising spin glass [Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 2606 (1985)]. This approach consists in evaluation and analysis of the probability distribution of…
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…
A simple model of a frustrated disordered system is presented. Apart from the (very different) physical interpretation, the model shares many features with that of Sherrington-Kirkpatrick for spin glasses, but, as a consequence of its…
Symmetry considerations and a direct, Hubbard-Stratonovich type, derivation are used to construct a replica field-theory relevant to the study of the spin glass transition of short range models in a magnetic field. A mean-field treatment…
We investigate the p-spin model with Gaussian-distributed random interactions in the microcanonical ensemble using the replica theory. For p=2, there are only second-order phase transitions and we recover the results of Sherrington and…
