We consider the energy difference restricted to a finite volume for certain pairs of incongruent ground states (if they exist) in the d-dimensional Edwards-Anderson (EA) Ising spin glass at zero temperature. We prove that the variance of…
We present a detailed proof of a previously announced result (C.M. Newman and D.L. Stein, Phys. Rev. Lett. v. 84, pp. 3966--3969 (2000)) supporting the absence of multiple (incongruent) ground state pairs for 2D Edwards-Anderson spin…
We show that the notion of critical droplets is central to an understanding of the nature of ground states in the Edwards-Anderson Ising model of a spin glass in arbitrary dimension. Given a specific ground state, suppose the coupling value…
We consider the effect of perturbing a single bond on ground-states of nearest-neighbor Ising spin-glasses, with a Gaussian distribution of the coupling constants, across various two and three-dimensional lattices and regular random graphs.…
Using an efficient polynomial-time ground state algorithm we investigate the Ising spin glass state at zero temperature in two dimensions. For large sizes, we show that the spin state in a central region is independent of the interactions…
We rigorously rule out the appearance of multiple domain walls between ground states in 2D Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glasses (with periodic boundary conditions and, e.g., Gaussian couplings). This supports the conjecture that there is…
We investigate the nature of the low-energy, large-scale excitations in the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass with Gaussian couplings and free boundary conditions, by studying the response of the ground state to a…
Mean field spin glass models have undergone substantial mathematical development, but finite dimensional short range spin glasses remain much less understood. This paper proves several rigorous zero temperature signatures of glassy behavior…
It is proven rigorously that the ground state in the Edwards-Anderson spin glass model is unique in any dimension for almost all continuous random exchange interactions under a condition that a single spin breaks the global ${\mathbb Z}_2$…
We consider the free energy difference restricted to a finite volume for certain pairs of incongruent thermodynamic states (if they exist) in the Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass at nonzero temperature. We prove that the variance of this…
An important but little-studied property of spin glasses is the stability of their ground states to changes in one or a finite number of couplings. It was shown in earlier work that, if multiple ground states are assumed to exist, then…
Large numbers of ground states of two-dimensional Ising spin glasses with periodic boundary conditions in both directions are calculated for sizes up to 40^2. A combination of a genetic algorithm and Cluster-Exact Approximation is used. For…
We present a collection of simulations of the Edwards-Anderson lattice spin glass at $T=0$ to elucidate the nature of low-energy excitations over a range of dimensions that reach from physically realizable systems to the mean-field limit.…
We propose an approach toward understanding the spin glass phase at zero and low temperature by studying the stability of a spin glass ground state against perturbations of a single coupling. After reviewing the concepts of flexibility,…
We study large-scale, low-energy excitations in the Ising spin glass with Gaussian interactions in two-dimensions at zero temperature, using an optimization algorithm to determine exact ground states. Periodic boundary conditions are…
We derive lower bounds for the variance of the difference of energies between incongruent ground states, i.e., states with edge overlaps strictly less than one, of the Edwards-Anderson model on ${\mathbb Z}^d$. The bounds highlight a…
It is generally believed (but not yet proved) that Ising spin glasses with nearest-neighbor interactions have a phase transition in three and higher dimensions to a low-temperature spin glass phase, but the nature of this phase remains…
We consider the one-dimensional model of a spin glass with independent Gaussian-distributed random interactions, that have mean zero and variance $1/|i-j|^{2\sigma}$, between the spins at sites $i$ and $j$ for all $i\neq j$. It is known…
We investigate the ground state structure of Ising spin glasses in zero magnetic field by determining how the ground state changes in a fixed finite block far from the boundaries when the boundary conditions are changed. We find, both in…
With the help of EXACT ground states obtained by a polynomial algorithm we compute the domain wall energy at zero-temperature for the bond-random and the site-random Ising spin glass model in two dimensions. We find that in both models the…
