We point out a possibility of the weak universality of spin-glass phase transitions in three dimensions. The Ising, the XY, and the Heisenberg models with $\pm J$ bond distributions undergo finite-temperature phase transitions with a ratio…
We provide strong evidence that the effective spin-spin interaction in a multimodal confocal optical cavity gives rise to a self-induced glassy phase, which emerges exclusively from the peculiar euclidean correlations and is not related to…
We present a general and powerful numerical method useful to study the density matrix of spin models. We apply the method to finite dimensional spin glasses, and we analyze in detail the four dimensional Edwards-Anderson model with Gaussian…
By means of parallel tempering Monte Carlo simulations we find strong evidence for a finite-temperature spin-glass transition in a system of diluted classical Heisenberg dipoles randomly placed on the sites of a simple cubic lattice. We…
I describe a class of spin models with short--range plaquette interactions whose static equilibrium properties are trivial but which display glassy dynamics at low temperatures. These models have a dual description in terms of free defects…
We recently showed that the two-dimensional Ising spin glass allows for a line of renormalization group fixed points which explains properties observed in numerical studies. We observe that this exact result corresponds to enhancement to a…
We investigate zero and finite temperature properties of the one-dimensional spin-glass model for vector spins in the limit of an infinite number m of spin components where the interactions decay with a power, \sigma, of the distance. A…
It is believed that the $\pm J$ Ising spin-glass does not order at finite temperatures in dimension $d=2$. However, using a graphical representation and a contour argument, we prove rigorously the existence of a finite-temperature phase…
For a finite dimensional spin-glass model we prove local order at low temperatures for both local observables and for products of observables at arbitrary mutual distance. When the Hamiltonian includes the Edwards-Anderson interaction we…
We study the Gibbs measure of mixed spherical $p$-spin glass models at low temperature, in (part of) the 1-RSB regime, including, in particular, models close to pure in an appropriate sense. We show that the Gibbs measure concentrates on…
Recent works on hard spheres in the limit of infinite dimensions revealed that glass states, envisioned as meta-basins in configuration space, can break up in a multitude of separate basins at low enough temperature or high enough pressure,…
We compare ground state properties of 3D Ising Spin Glasses with Gaussian couplings with results from off-equilibrium numerical simulations at non zero (but low) temperatures. We find that the non-zero temperature properties of the system…
In the +-J Edwards-Anderson spin glass, we find by Monte Carlo simulation the (approximate) ground state energy. Also, we check how in the relaxation towards this ground state the fraction of never flipped spins diminishes with time.
We investigate scenarios in which the low-temperature phase of short-range spin glasses comprises thermodynamic states which are nontrivial mixtures of multiple incongruent pure state pairs. We construct a new kind of metastate supported on…
We study the low temperature dynamics of a two dimensional short-range spin system with uniform ferromagnetic interactions, which displays glassiness at low temperatures despite the absence of disorder or frustration. The model has a dual…
We study zero--temperature properties of the 3d Edwards--Anderson Ising spin glass on finite lattices up to size $12^3$. Using multicanonical sampling we generate large numbers of groundstate configurations in thermal equilibrium. Finite…
The p-spin spin-glass model has been studied extensively at mean-field level because of the insights which it provides into the mode-coupling approach to structural glasses and the nature of the glass transition. We demonstrate explicitly…
We have analyzed a non-randomly frustrated spin model which exhibits behavior remarkably similar to the phenomenology of structural glasses. The high-temperature disordered phase undergoes a strong first-order transition to a long-range…
We present a class of examples of nearest-neighbour, boubded-spin models, in which the low-temperature Gibbs measures do not converge as the temperature is lowered to zero, in any dimension.
