متن کاملShort-Range Spin Glasses: Results and Speculations
This paper is divided into two parts. The first part concerns several standard scenarios for how short-range spin glasses might behave at low temperature. Earlier theorems of the authors are reviewed, and some new results presented, including a proof that, in a thermodynamic system exhibiting infinitely many pure states and with the property (such as in replica-symmetrybreaking scenarios) that ...
