We review 15 years of theoretical and experimental work on the non-linear response of glassy systems. We argue that an anomalous growth of the peak value of non-linear susceptibilities is a signature of growing "amorphous order" in the…
Results are presented for the geometry of low-energy excitations in the one-dimensional Ising spin chain with power-law interactions, in which the model parameters are chosen to yield a finite spin-glass transition temperature. Both…
Dilute dipolar Ising magnets remain a notoriously hard problem to tackle both analytically and numerically because of long-ranged interactions between spins as well as rare region effects. We study a new type of anisotropic dilute dipolar…
We study the link overlap between two replicas of an Ising spin glass in three dimensions using the Migdal-Kadanoff approximation and scaling arguments based on the droplet picture. For moderate system sizes, the distribution of the link…
