According to the droplet picture of spin glasses, the low-temperature phase of spin glasses should be replica symmetric. However, analysis of the stability of this state suggested that it was unstable and this instability lends support to…
Replica field theory is used to study the n-dependent free energy of the Ising spin glass in a first order perturbative treatment. Large sample-to-sample deviations of the free energy from its quenched average prove to be Gaussian,…
We study a 7-state Potts glass model in three dimensions with first, second, and third neighbor interactions with a bimodal distribution of couplings by Monte Carlo simulations. Our results show the existence of a spin-glass transition at a…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in statistical mechanics primarily occurs during phase transitions at the thermodynamic limit where the Hamiltonian preserves inversion symmetry, yet the low-temperature free energy exhibits reduced symmetry.…
We study the 2D vortex-free XY model in a random field, a model for randomly pinned flux lines in a plane. We construct controlled RG recursion relations which allow for replica symmetry breaking (RSB). The fixed point previously found by…
In this paper, we show that the replica symmetry of the Gibbs measure of spherical spin systems is a property of the eigenvalue spacing at the edge of the interaction matrix. In particular, our interaction matrix has \textbf{two} large…
We consider the energy difference restricted to a finite volume for certain pairs of incongruent ground states (if they exist) in the d-dimensional Edwards-Anderson (EA) Ising spin glass at zero temperature. We prove that the variance of…
The ground-state energy E_0 of a spin glass is an example of an extreme statistic. We consider the large deviations of this energy for a variety of models when the number of spins N goes to infinity. In most cases, the behavior can be…
We study a multi-species spin glass system where the density of each species is kept fixed at increasing volumes. The model reduces to the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick one for the single species case. The existence of the thermodynamic limit is…
The stiffness exponents in the glass phase for lattice spin glasses in dimensions $d=3,...,6$ are determined. To this end, we consider bond-diluted lattices near the T=0 glass transition point $p^*$. This transition for discrete bond…
We consider the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses with ferromagnetically biased couplings. For a specific choice of the couplings mean, the resulting Gibbs measure is equivalent to the Bayesian posterior for a high-dimensional…
Across many scientific and engineering disciplines, it is important to consider how much the output of a given system changes due to perturbations of the input. Here, we investigate the glassy phase of $\pm J$ spin glasses at zero…
We derive, within the replica formalism, a generalisation of the Crisanti-Sommers formula to describe the large deviation function (LDF) ${\cal L}(e)$ for the speed-$N$ atypical fluctuations of the intensive ground-state energy $e$ of a…
Our goal in this work is to better understand the relationship between replica symmetry breaking, shattering, and metastability. To this end, we study the static and dynamic behaviour of spherical pure $p$-spin glasses above the replica…
A generalization of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model for spin glasses is considered, in which the interaction matrix is endowed with a variance profile that has no particular structure an may be sparse. In the first part of this…
It is proposed to understand finite dimensional spin glasses using a $1/m$ expansion, where $m$ is the number of spin components. It is shown that this approach predicts a replica symmetric state in finite dimensions. The point about which…
We study the m-component vector spin glass in the limit m to infinity on a Bethe lattice. The cavity method allows for a solution of the model in a self-consistent field approximation and for a perturbative solution of the full problem near…
We discuss a general formalism that allows study of transitions over barriers in spin glasses with long-range interactions that contain large but finite number, $N$, of spins. We apply this formalism to the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model…
We study the Hopfield model with pure $p$-spin interactions with even $p\geq 4$, and a number of patterns, M(N) growing with the system size, $N$, as $M(N) = \a N^{p-1}$. We prove the existence of a critical temperature $\b_p$ characterized…
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…
