In a finite-connectivity spin-glass at the zero-temperature limit, long-range correlations exist among the unfrozen vertices (whose spin values being non-fixed). Such long-range frustrations are partially removed through the first-step…
In a spin glass system on a random graph, some vertices have their spins changing among different configurations of a ground--state domain. Long range frustrations may exist among these unfrozen vertices in the sense that certain…
We conjecture the existence of a relationship between frustration and the transition point at zero temperature of Ising spin glasses. The relation reveals that, in several Ising spin glass models, the concentration of ferromagnetic bonds is…
We introduce a finite dimensional anharmonic soft spin glass in a field and show how it allows the construction a field theory at zero temperature and the corresponding loop expansion. The mean field level of the model coincides with a…
A class of models with self-generated disorder and controlled frustration is studied. Between the trivial case, where frustration is not present at all, and the limit case, where frustration is present over every length scale, a region with…
Equilibrium properties of long-range interacting systems on lattices are investigated. There was a conjecture by Cannas et. al. that the mean-field theory is exact for spin systems with non-additive long-range interactions. This is called…
We discuss the problem of static chaos in spin glasses. In the case of magnetic field perturbations, we propose a scaling theory for the spin-glass phase. Using the mean-field approach we argue that some pure states are suppressed by the…
In spin-glass systems, frustration can be adjusted continuously and considerably, without changing the antiferromagnetic bond probability p, by using locally correlated quenched randomness, as we demonstrate here on hypercubic lattices and…
We consider the problem of temperature chaos in mean-field spin-glass models defined on random lattices with finite connectivity. By means of an expansion in the order parameter we show that these models display a much stronger chaos effect…
In this paper, we study the high temperature or low connectivity phase of the Viana-Bray model. This is a diluted version of the well known Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass. In the whole replica symmetric region, we obtain a…
We argue that complex systems must possess long range correlations and illustrate this idea on the example of the mean field spin glass model. Defined on the complete graph, this model has no genuine concept of distance, but the long range…
We solve the q-state Potts model with anti-ferromagnetic interactions on large random lattices of finite coordination. Due to the frustration induced by the large loops and to the local tree-like structure of the lattice this model behaves…
We present a mean field analysis of a fully frustrated Ising spin model on an Ising lattice gas. This is equivalent to a degenerate Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with frustration, which we analyze for different values of the quadrupolar…
Infinite-range spin-glass models with Levy-distributed interactions show a freezing transition similar to disordered spin systems on finite connectivity random graphs. It is shown that despite diverging moments of the local field…
Random quenched dilution of the triangular-lattice antiferromagnetic Ising model locally relieves frustration, leading to ordering phenomena. We have studied this system, under such dilution of one sublattice, using hard-spin mean-field…
We investigate a possible relation between frustration and phase-transition points in spin glasses. The relation is represented as a condition of the number of frustrated plaquettes in the lattice at phase-transition points at zero…
A recently introduced Renormalization Group approach to frustrated spin models is applied in three dimensions through Monte Carlo computations. A class of spin glass models is analysed, with correlated disorder variables given by a Z_2…
We study the quenched disordered magnetic system, which is obtained from the 2D SO(3) quantum Heisenberg model, on a square lattice, with nearest neighbors interaction, by taking a Gaussian random distribution of couplings centered in an…

These lecture notes focus on the mean field theory of spin glasses, with particular emphasis on the presence of a very large number of metastable states in these systems. This phenomenon, and some of its physical consequences, will be…
