Abstract

We expand on why our recent results rule out the standard SK picture of realistic spin glasses.

A Mean-Field Approach for Inhomogeneous Spin-Glass Models

Andrew Canning, Bruce M. Forrest

A mean-field replica-type theory is presented for long-range Ising spin-glasses whose interactions can be written in the form J ij = J ij I J ij SK , where J SK is a quenched Gaussian interaction, as in the SK spin-glass, and J I is a deterministic matrix which defines the structure or inhomogeneity of the model and must have a finite rank in the thermodynamic limit. The spin-glass model proposed by Franz, Parisi and Virasoro ( Europhys. Lett. , 17 (1992) 5) can be written in this form, with J I having rank 2, and is used as a case study to illustrate our theory. In the context of replica theory we also consider the stable states of this model, which appear continuously as the temperature is lowered.

Comment on “Evidence of Non-Mean-Field-Like Low-Temperature Behavior in the Edwards-Anderson Spin-Glass Model”

Alain H. Billoire, L. A. Fernández, A. Maiorano +6 more

A recent interesting paper [Yucesoy et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 177204 (2012), arXiv:1206:0783] compares the low-temperature phase of the 3D Edwards-Anderson (EA) model to its mean-field counterpart, the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model. The authors study the overlap distributions P_J(q) and conclude that the two models behave differently. Here we notice that a similar analysis using state-of-the-art, larger data sets for the EA model (generated with the Janus computer) leads to a very clear interpretation of the results of Yucesoy et al., showing that the EA model behaves as predicted by the replica symmetry breaking (RSB) theory.

Numerical Simulations of Finite Dimensional Spin Glasses Show a Mean Field like Behavior

Enzo Marinari

I discuss results from numerical simulations of finite dimensional spin glass models, and show that they show all signatures of a mean field like behavior, basically coinciding with the one of the Parisi solution. I discuss the Binder cumulant, the probability distribution of the order parameter, the non self-averaging behavior. The determination of correlation function and of spatially blocked observables quantities helps in qualifying the behavior of the system.
