The thermodynamics of the infinite-range Ising spin glass with p-spin interactions in the presence of an external magnetic field h is investigated analytically using the replica method. We give emphasis to the analysis of the transition…
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…
