Nontrivial link overlap distribution in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses

Abstract

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.

Spin and Link Overlaps in Three-Dimensional Spin Glasses

Florent Krząkała, Olivier Martin

Excitations of three-dimensional spin glasses are computed numerically. We find that one can flip a finite fraction of an LxLxL lattice with an O(1) energy cost, confirming the mean-field picture of a nontrivial spin overlap distribution P(q). These low energy excitations are not domain-wall-like, rather they are topologically nontrivial and they reach out to the boundaries of the lattice. Their surface to volume ratios decrease as L increases and may asymptotically go to zero. If so, link and window overlaps between the ground state and these excited states become "trivial."

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.

Link overlaps at Criticality and Universality in Ising Spin Glasses

P. H. Lundow, Ian A. Campbell

Extensive simulations are made of link and spin overlaps in four and five dimensional Ising Spin Glasses (ISGs). Moments and moment ratios of the mean link overlap distributions (the variance, the kurtosis and the skewness) show clear critical behavior around the ISG ordering temperature. The link overlap measurements can be used to identify the ISG transition accurately; the link overlap is often a more efficient tool in this context than the spin overlap because the link overlap inter-sample variability is much weaker. Once the transition temperature is accurately established, critical exponents can be readily estimated by extrapolating measurements made in the thermodynamic limit regime. The data show that the bimodal and Gaussian spin glass susceptibility exponents $γ$ are different from each other, both in dimension 5 and in dimension 4. Hence ISG critical exponents are not universal in a given dimension, but depend on the form of the interaction distribution.

New extrapolation of overlap distribution in spin glasses

Guy Hed, Alexander K. Hartmann, Eytan Domany

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.
