We determine the low-energy spectrum and Parisi replica symmetry breaking function for the spin glass phase of the quantum Ising model with infinite-range random exchange interactions and transverse and longitudinal ($h$) fields. We show…
This paper focuses on regularisation methods using models up to the third order to search for up to second-order critical points of a finite-sum minimisation problem. The variant presented belongs to the framework of [3]: it employs random…
We study the critical properties of the weakly disordered $p$-component random Heisenberg ferromagnet. It is shown that if the specific heat critical exponent of the pure system is positive, the traditional renormalization group (RG) flows…
A disordered spin glass model where both static and dynamical properties depend on macroscopic magnetizations is presented. These magnetizations interact via random couplings and, therefore, the typical quenched realization of the system…
In this article the framework for Parisi's spontaneous replica symmetry breaking is reviewed, and subsequently applied to the example of the statistical mechanical description of the storage properties of a McCulloch-Pitts neuron. The…
In this paper we review the predictions of the replica approach on the probability distribution of the overlaps among replicas and on the sample to sample fluctuations of this probability. We stress the role of replica equivalence in…
Systems of globally coupled logistic maps (GCLM) can display complex collective behaviour characterized by the formation of synchronous clusters. In the dynamical clustering regime, such systems possess a large number of coexisting…
We report progress in understanding the fermionic Ising spin glass with arbitrary filling. A crossover from a magnetically disordered single band phase via two intermediate bands just below the freezing temperature to a 3-band structure at…
In this thesis, we review and examine the replica method from several viewpoints. The replica method is a mathematical technique to calculate general moments of stochastic variables. This method provides a systematic way to evaluate…
We start with a rather detailed, general discussion of recent results of the replica approach to statistical mechanics of a single classical particle placed in a random $N (\gg 1)$-dimensional Gaussian landscape and confined by a…
The variational principle (VP) has been used to capture the metastable states of a glass-forming molecular system without quenched disorder. It has been shown that VP naturally leads to a self-consistent random field Ginzburg-Landau model…
The infinite projected entangled pair states (iPEPS) technique [J. Jordan {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 101}, 250602 (2008)] has been widely used in the recent years to assess the properties of two-dimensional quantum systems, working…
A constructive scheme for determining pure states (clusters) at very low temperature in the 3-spins glass model on a random lattice is provided, in full agreement with Parisi's one step replica symmetry breaking (RSB) scheme. Proof is based…
We show that the algebra of Parisi ultrametric matrices is recovered by the real-time, replica-free, Dyson-Keldysh equations of infinite-range quantum spin glasses in the late time glassy limit. This connects to earlier results on classical…
We show that the spontaneous symmetry breaking can be defined also for finite systems based on the properly defined jump probability between the ground states in the 2d and 3d Ising models on a square and a cubic lattice respectively. Our…
We calculate equilibrium solutions for Ising spin models on `small world' lattices, which are constructed by super-imposing random and sparse Poissonian graphs with finite average connectivity c onto a one-dimensional ring. The nearest…
In this work we analyse the Parisi's infinity-replica symmetry breaking solution of the Sherrington - Kirkpatrick model without external field using high order perturbative expansions. The predictions are compared with those obtained from…
This work finds its place in the statistical mechanical approach to light amplification in disordered media, namely Random Lasers (RLs). The problem of going beyond the standard mean-field Replica Symmetry Breaking (RSB) theory employed to…
We study random constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) in the unsatisfiable regime. We relate the structure of near-optimal solutions for any Max-CSP to that for an associated spin glass on the hypercube, using the Guerra-Toninelli…
We derive all possible symmetry breaking patterns for all possible Higgs fields that can occur in intersecting brane models: bi-fundamentals and rank-2 tensors. This is a field-theoretic problem that was already partially solved in 1973 by…
