We propose a novel renormalization group (RG) method for non mean-field models of spin glasses, which leads to the emergence of a novel order parameter. Unlike previous approaches where the RG procedure is based on a priori notions on the…
Among the Renormalization Group Theory scaling rules relating critical exponents, there are hyperscaling rules involving the dimension of the system. It is well known that in Ising models hyperscaling breaks down above the upper critical…
We study the $3d$ Ising spin glass with $\pm 1$ couplings. We introduce a modified local action. We use finite size scaling techniques and very large lattice simulations. We find that our data are compatible both with a finite $T$…

Zeros of the $n$th moment of the partition function $[Z^n]$ are investigated in a vanishing temperature limit $\beta \to \infty$, $n \to 0$ keeping $y=\beta n \sim O(1)$. In this limit, the moment parameterized by $y$ characterizes the…
A fermionic random matrix model, which is a 0-dimensional version of the SYK model with replicas, is considered. The replica-off-diagonal correlation functions vanish at finite N, but we show that they do not vanish in the large N limit due…
Using the decay of the out equilibrium spin-spin correlation function we compute the equilibrium Edward-Anderson order parameter in the three dimensional binary Ising spin glass in the spin glass phase. We have checked that the…
The randomly pinned planar flux line array is supposed to show a phase transition to a vortex glass phase at low temperatures. This transition has been examined by using a mapping onto a 2D XY-model with random an\-iso\-tropy but without…

A renormalization group transformation suitable for spin glass models and, more generally, for disordered models, is presented. The procedure is non-standard in both the nature of the additional interactions and the coarse graining…
Infinite-range spin-glass models with Levy-distributed interactions show a spin-glass transition with similarities to both the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model and to disordered spin systems on finite connectivity random graphs. Despite the…
Ising spin-glass systems with long-range interactions ($J(r)\sim r^{-\sigma}$) are considered. A numerical study of the critical behaviour is presented in the non-mean-field region together with an analysis of the probability distribution…
The gauge glass in dimensions 3 and 4 is studied using a variety of numerical methods, in order to obtain accurate and reliable values for the critical parameters. Detailed comparisons are made of the sensitivity of the different techniques…
We develop a statistical-mechanical formulation for image restoration and error-correcting codes. These problems are shown to be equivalent to the Ising spin glass with ferromagnetic bias under random external fields. We prove that the…
