In 1975, two papers were published that together sparked major new directions, conceptual, mathematical and practically applicable, in several previously disparate fields of science. In this short review, we expose key aspects of their…

Mean-field models of 2-spin Ising spin glasses with interaction matrices taken from ensembles which are invariant under O(N) transformations are studied. A general study shows that the nature of the spin glass transition can be deduced from…

We study the order parameter distribution P(q) in the 4d Ising spin glass with $\pm J$ couplings in a magnetic field. We also compare these results with simulations for the infinite ranged model (i.e. SK model.) Then we analyse our…

The Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass model has been studied as a source of insight into the statistical mechanics of systems with highly diversified collections of competing low energy states. The goal of this summary is to present some…

We study the non-equilibrium relaxation of the spherical spin-glass model with p-spin interactions in the $N \rightarrow \infty$ limit. We analytically solve the asymptotics of the magnetization and the correlation and response functions…

In order to study the activated dynamics of mean-field glasses, which takes place on times of order exp(N), where N is the system size, we introduce a new model, the Correlated Random Energy Model (CREM), that allows for a smooth…

Computing the ground state of Ising spin-glass models with p-spin interactions is, in general, an NP-hard problem. In this work we show that unlike in the case of the standard Ising spin glass with two-spin interactions, computing ground…

This chapter introduces a variety of spin glass models, beyond the simple Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) version, that have led to enriched understanding and application.

Binary mixtures of large and small particles with disparate size ratio exhibit a rich phenomenology at their glass transition points. In order to gain insights on such systems, we introduce and study a two-component version of the $p$-spin…

We prove that the two cornerstones of mean-field spin glass theory -- the Parisi variational formula and the ultrametric organization of pure states -- break down under heavy-tailed disorder. For the mixed spherical $p$-spin model whose…

While in the fully-connected limit the solution of the spin-glass model is known, with the existence of a complex transition on a critical line in the temperature-external field phase diagram, in finite dimensions we don't know if a…

In these two lectures I review our theoretical understanding of spin glasses paying a particular attention to the basic physical ideas. We introduce the replica method and we describe its probabilistic consequences (we stress the recently…

In this paper a multi-scale version of the Sherrington and Kirkpatrick model is introduced and studied. The pressure per particle in the thermodynamical limit is proved to obey a variational principle of Parisi type. The result is achieved…

We investigate stability of replica symmetry breaking solutions in generalized $p$-spin models. It is shown that the kind of the transition to the one-step replica symmetry breaking state depends not only on the presence or absence of the…

We investigate the generalized p-spin models that contain arbitrary diagonal operators U with no reflection symmetry. We derive general equations that give an opportunity to uncover the behavior of the system near the glass transition at…

Despite the extreme simplicity in their definition, spin glasses disclose a wide variety of non-trivial behaviors that are not yet fully understood. In this thesis we try to shed light on some of them, focusing on one hand on the search of…

The aim of this work is to prove that it is possible to realise an optical system which produces as output a light intensity that can be expressed in the same mathematical form of the spin glass Hamiltonian. The optical system under study…

We introduce a three replica potential useful to examine the structure of metastables states above the static transition temperature, in the spherical p-spin model. Studying the minima of the potential we are able to find which is the…

A disordered spin model suitable for studying inverse freezing in fragile glass-forming systems is introduced. The model is a microscopic realization of the ``random-first order'' scenario in which the glass transition can be either…

The topic of the glass transition gives rise to a a wide diversity of views. It is, accordingly, characterized by a lack of agreement on which would be the most profitable theoretical perspective. In this chapter, I provide some elements…
