Abstract

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.

Numerical simulations of the four-dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin glass with binary couplings

Enzo Marinari, Francesco Zuliani

We present numerical results that allow a precise determination of the transition point and of the critical exponents of the four-dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin glass with binary quenched random couplings. We show that the low-temperature phase undergoes replica symmetry breaking. We obtain results on large lattices, up to a volume V = 10 4 : we use finite-size scaling to show the relevance of our results in the infinite volume limit.

Critical behaviour of the four-dimensional spin glass in magnetic field

Enzo Marinari, C. Naitza, Francesco Zuliani

We present numerical simulations of the four-dimensional Edwards Anderson Ising spin glass with binary couplings. Our results, in the midst of strong finite-size effects, suggest the existence of a spin-glass phase transition. We present a preliminar determination of critical exponents. We discuss spin-glass susceptibilities, cumulants of the overlap and energy overlap probability distributions, finite-size effects, and the behaviour of the disorder-dependent and integrated probability distributions.

Small window overlaps are effective probes of replica symmetry breaking in three-dimensional spin glasses

Enzo Marinari, Giorgio Parisi A, Federico Ricci‐Tersenghi +1 more

We numerically compute small window overlaps in the three-dimensional Edwards - Anderson spin glass. We show that they behave in the way implied by the replica symmetry breaking ansatz, that they do not qualitatively differ from the full volume overlap and do not tend to a trivial function when increasing the lattice volume. In contrast we show that they are affected by small finite-volume effects, and are interesting tools for the study of the features of the spin-glass phase.

Number of thermodynamic states in the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin glass

Wenlong Wang, Jonathan L. Machta, Humberto Munoz-Bauza +1 more

The question of the number of thermodynamic states present in the low-temperature phase of the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass is addressed by studying spin- and link-overlap distributions using population annealing Monte Carlo simulations. We consider overlaps between systems with the same boundary condition, which are the usual quantities measured, and also overlaps between systems with different boundary conditions, both for the full systems and also within a smaller window within the system. Our results appear to be fully compatible with a single pair of pure states such as in the droplet-scaling picture. However, our results for whether or not domain walls induced by changing boundary conditions are space filling or not are also compatible with scenarios having many thermodynamic states, such as the chaotic-pairs picture and the replica-symmetry-breaking picture. The differing results for spin overlaps in the same and different boundary conditions suggest that finite-size effects are very large for the system sizes currently accessible in low-temperature simulations.

Study of the phase transition in the 3D Ising spin glass from out-of-equilibrium numerical simulations

Sergio Perez-Gaviro, Juan Jesus Ruiz-Lorenzo, Alfonso Tarancón

Using the decay of the out equilibrium spin-spin correlation function we compute the equilibrium Edward-Anderson order parameter in the three dimensional binary Ising spin glass in the spin glass phase. We have checked that the Edward-Anderson order parameter computed from out of equilibrium numerical simulations follows with good precision the critical law as determined in experiments and in numerical studies at equilibrium. We have also studied the dependence of the order parameter with the lattice size. Finally we present a large time study of the scaling of the off-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relations.

Numerical study of the overlap Lee–Yang singularities in the three-dimensional Edwards–Anderson model

R. A. Baños, Jose Miguel Gil-Narvion, Jorge Monforte-Garcia +2 more

We have characterized numerically, using the Janus computer, the Lee–Yang complex singularities related to the overlap in the 3 D Ising spin-glass with binary couplings over a wide range of temperatures (both in the critical and in the spin-glass phase). Studying the behavior of the zeros at the critical point, we have obtained an accurate measurement of the anomalous dimension in very good agreement with the values quoted in the literature. In addition, by studying the density of the zeros we have been able to characterize the phase transition and to investigate the Edwards–Anderson order parameter in the spin-glass phase, finding agreement with the values obtained using more conventional techniques.
