The statistics of domain walls for ground states of the 2D Ising spin glass with +1 and -1 bonds are studied for $L \times L$ square lattices with $L \le 20$, and $x$ = 0.25 and 0.5, where $x$ is the fraction of negative bonds, using…
We show marginal stability of near-ground states in spherical spin glasses is equivalent to full replica symmetry breaking at zero temperature near overlap $1$. This connection has long been implicit in the physics literature, which also…

We introduce a diluted version of the one dimensional spin-glass model with interactions decaying in probability as an inverse power of the distance. In this model varying the power corresponds to change the dimension in short-range models.…

Zeros of the moment of the partition function $[Z^n]_{\bm{J}}$ with respect to complex $n$ are investigated in the zero temperature limit $\beta \to \infty$, $n\to 0$ keeping $y=\beta n \approx O(1)$. We numerically investigate the zeros of…
At low temperature, T -> 0, the yield stress of a perfect crystal is equal to its so called theoretical strength. The yield stress of non-perfect crystals is controlled by the stress threshold of dislocation mobility. A non-crystalline…
