Excluding some special cases, computing the critical inverse-temperature $\beta_c$ of a mixed $p$-spin spin glass model is a difficult task. The only known method to calculate its value for a general model requires the full power of the…

The very existence of a phase transition for spin glasses in an external magnetic field is controversial, even in high dimensions. We carry out massive simulations of the Ising spin-glass in a field, in six dimensions (which, according to…
We consider a modified version of the one-dimensional Hubbard model, the t1-t2 Hubbard chain, which includes an additional next-nearest-neighbor hopping. It has been shown that at weak coupling this model has a Luttinger liquid phase or a…

Purpose of this paper is to face up to P-spin glass and Gaussian P-spin model, i.e. spin glasses with polynomial interactions of degree P > 2. We consider the replica symmetry and first step of replica simmetry breaking assumptions and we…
We investigate the phase structure of the random-field Ising model with a bimodal random field distribution. Our aim is to test for the possibility of an equilibrium spin-glass phase, and for replica symmetry breaking (RSB) within such a…
R$_2$Mo$_2$O$_7$ compounds show a ferromagnetic metal-insulator spin glass transition tuned by the radius of the rare earth ion R$^{3+}$. We have studied Gd$_2$Mo$_2$O$_7$ located on the verge of the transition, by neutron diffraction on a…
This lecture deals with glassy dynamics and aging in disordered systems. Special emphasis is put on dynamic mean field theory. In the first part I present some of the systems of interest, in particular spin-glasses, supercooled liquids and…
First order phase transitions, where one phase replaces another by virtue of a simple crossing of free energies, are best known between solids, liquids and vapours, but they also occur in a wide range of other contexts, including even…
This paper discusses the dynamical properties of $p$-spin models with Kac kind interactions. For large but finite interaction range $R$ one finds two different time scales for relaxation. A first relaxation roughly independent of $R$ where…
We define a new family of random spin models with one-dimensional structure, finite-range multi-spin interactions, and bounded average degree (number of interactions in which each spin participates). Unfrustrated ground states can be…
We consider thermodynamic and dynamic phase transitions in plaquette spin models of glasses. The thermodynamic transitions involve coupled (annealed) replicas of the model. We map these coupled-replica systems to a single replica in a…
