New extrapolation of overlap distribution in spin glasses

Abstract

We study in d=3 dimensions the short range Ising spin glass with Jij=+/-1 couplings at T=0. We show that the overlap distribution is non-trivial in the limit of large system size.

Low-temperature behavior of the statistics of the overlap distribution in Ising spin-glass models

Matthew Wittmann, Burcu Yücesoy, Helmut G. Katzgraber +2 more

Using Monte Carlo simulations, we study in detail the overlap distribution for individual samples for several spin-glass models including the infinite-range Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, short-range Edwards-Anderson models in three and four space dimensions, and one-dimensional long-range models with diluted power-law interactions. We study three long-range models with different powers as follows: The first is approximately equivalent to a short-range model in three dimensions, the second to a short-range model in four dimensions, and the third to a short-range model in the mean-field regime. We study an observable proposed earlier by some of us which aims to distinguish the ``replica symmetry breaking'' picture of the spin-glass phase from the ``droplet picture,'' finding that larger system sizes would be needed to unambiguously determine which of these pictures describes the low-temperature state of spin glasses best, except for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, which is unambiguously described by replica symmetry breaking. Finally, we also study the median integrated overlap probability distribution and a typical overlap distribution, finding that these observables are not particularly helpful in distinguishing the replica symmetry breaking and the droplet pictures.

Nontrivial link overlap distribution in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses

Guy Hed, Eytan Domany

We investigate the distributions of the link overlap, $P(Q)$, in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses. We use clustering methodology to identify a set of pairs of states from different Gibbs states and calculate its contribution to $P(Q)$. We find that the distribution over this set does not become trivial as the system size increases.

The Ising Spin Glass in dimension five: link overlaps

P. H. Lundow, Ian A. Campbell

Extensive simulations are made of the link overlap in five dimensional Ising Spin Glasses (ISGs) through and below the ordering transition. Moments of the mean link overlap distributions (the kurtosis and the skewness) show clear critical maxima at the ISG ordering temperature. These criteria can be used as efficient tools to identify a freezing transition quite generally and in any dimension. In the ISG ordered phase the mean link overlap distribution develops a strong two peak structure, with the link overlap spectra of individual samples becoming very heterogeneous. There is no tendency towards a "trivial" universal single peak distribution in the range of size and temperature covered by the data.

Low temperature behaviour of 3-D spin glasses in a magnetic field

Sergio Caracciolo A, Giorgio Parisi A, Stefano Patarnello +1 more

We present the results of two sets of numerical simulations of 3-d Ising spin-glasses in the presence of an uniform magnetic field. In the first set, among other quantities, we compute the spin-spin overlap probability distribution P (q ), the link-link overlap probability distribution P e(qe) and the spin-glass susceptibility χ SG for different volumes and temperatures. The results are in good agreement with mean-field behaviour : P(q) and P e(qe) are non trivial and non self-averaging and χSG shows an increase with the linear size L of the system as χSG ∼ Lω. Our estimate is ω = 1,8 ± 0.25 at T = 0.83. In the second set of simulations a small coupling ε is introduced between two copies of the system and the copy overlap Q(ε) is computed as a function of ε. Q(ε) becomes steeper around ε ∼ 0 as L increases, in agreement with the previous set of simulations. Our data seem anyhow incompatible with the alternatives to mean-field theory proposed so far.

Ising ferromagnet in dimension five: Link and spin overlaps

P. H. Lundow, Ian A. Campbell

In the simple [hyper]cubic five-dimension, near-neighbor-interaction Ising ferromagnet, extensive simulation measurements are made of the link overlap and the spin overlap distributions. These "two replica" measurements are standard in the spin glass context but are not usually recorded in ferromagnet simulations. The moments and moment ratios of these distributions (the variance, the kurtosis, and the skewness) show clear critical behaviors at the known ordering temperature of the ferromagnet. Analogous overlap effects can be expected quite generally in Ising ferromagnets in any dimension. The link overlap results in particular, with peaks at criticality in the kurtosis and the skewness, also have implications for spin glasses.

Phase structure of the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin glass

Enzo Marinari, Giorgio Parisi A, Juan Jesus Ruiz-Lorenzo

We characterize numerically the properties of the phase transition of the three-dimensional Ising spin glass with Gaussian couplings and of the low-temperature phase. We compute critical exponents on large lattices. We study in detail the overlap probability distribution and the equilibrium overlap-overlap correlation functions. We find a clear agreement with off-equilibrium results from previous work. These results strongly support the existence of a continuous spontaneous replica symmetry breaking in three-dimensional spin glasses.
