We consider vector spin glass models with self-overlap correction. Since the limit of free energy is an infimum, we use arguments analogous to those for generic models to show the following: 1) the averaged self-overlap converges; 2) the…
We present results of a Monte Carlo simulation of an Heisenberg Spin Glass model on a hipercubic cell of size 2 in {\it D} dimensions. Each spin interacts with {\it D} nearest neighbors and the lattice is expected to recover the completely…
Scaling arguments and precise simulations are used to study the square lattice $\pm J$ Ising spin glass, a prototypical model for glassy systems. Droplet theory predicts, and our numerical results show, entropically-stabilized long range…

We calculate the explicit expression of the effective potential in a $\lambda\phi^4$ theory at finite temperature in a static universe for arbitrary spacetime dimensions (2\leq D < 5). To study the combined effects of the temperature and…
Via Monte Carlo studies of the frustrated XY or classical planar model we demonstrate the possibility of a finite (nonzero) temperature spin/gauge glass phase in two dimensions. Examples of both periodic and quasiperiodic two dimensional…
The statistics of low energy states of the 2D Ising spin glass with +1 and -1 bonds are studied for $L \times L$ square lattices with $L \le 48$, and $p$ = 0.5, where $p$ is the fraction of negative bonds, using periodic and/or antiperiodic…
In this note we explain the use of the cavity method directly at zero temperature, in the case of the spin glass on a Bethe lattice. The computation is done explicitly in the formalism equivalent to 'one step replica symmetry breaking'; we…
The critical filling factor v_c where Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations become spin split is investigated for a set of GaAs-GaAlAs heterojunctions. Finite temperature magnetoresistance measurements are used to extract the value of v_c at zero…
We study the probability distribution P(E) of the ground state energy E in various Ising spin glasses. In most models, P(E) seems to become Gaussian with a variance growing as the system's volume V. Exceptions include the…
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…
We introduce a model describing vortices in strongly disordered three-dimensional superconductors. The model focuses on the topological defects, i.e., dislocation lines, in an elastic description of the vortex lattice. The model is studied…
We show that in mean-field spin glasses, a discontinuous breaking of replica symmetry at the critical inverse temperature $\beta_c$ implies the existence of an intermediate shattered phase. This confirms a prediction from physics regarding…
