Gauge Theories, Spin Glasses and Real Glasses
نویسنده
چکیده
In this talk I will show that usual spin glasses are a peculiar kind of Abelian gauge theory. I will shortly review the techniques used to study them. At the end I will consider more general models (e.g. spin glasses based on non Abelian gauge group) and I will discuss the relevance of these models to real glasses. Finally I will derive from first principles a generalised Vogel-Fulcher law for the divergence of the characteristic time near the glass transition.

Complex and Non-Complex Phase Structures in Models of Spin Glasses and Information Processing
The gauge theory of spin glasses and statistical-mechanical formulation of errorcorrecting codes are reviewed with an emphasis on their similarities. For the gauge theory, we explain the functional identities on dynamical autocorrelation functions and on the distribution functions of order parameters. These functional identities restrict the possibilities of slow dynamics and complex structure ...
متن کاملGauge Theory for Quantum Spin Glasses
The gauge theory for random spin systems is extended to quantum spin glasses to derive a number of exact and/or rigorous results. The transverse Ising model and the quantum gauge glass are shown to be gauge invariant. For these models, an identity is proved that the expectation value of the gauge invariant operator in the ferromagnetic limit is equal to the one in the classical equilibrium stat...

12 The prediction of the replica approach for a three dimensional systems is / exp(C(T ? T c) ?2): (33) Unfortunately the data are not sensitive enough to make a clear cut choice among the two proposed formulae, although the data are tted slightly better by eq. (33) than by the traditional Vogel-Fulcher law. More careful studies of this point are needed. It is quite amazing that starting from t...
متن کاملAging Relation for Ising Spin Glasses
We derive a rigorous dynamical relation on aging phenomena — the aging relation — for Ising spin glasses using the method of gauge transformation. The waiting-time dependence of the auto-correlation function in the zerofield-cooling process is equivalent with that in the field-quenching process. There is no aging on the Nishimori line; this reveals arguments for dynamical properties of the Grif...
متن کاملPossibly Exact Solution for the Multicritical Point of Finite-dimensional Spin Glasses
After briefly describing the present status of the spin glass theory, we present a conjecture on the exact location of the multicritical point in the phase diagram of finite-dimensional spin glasses. The theory enables us to understand in a unified way many numerical results for two-, threeand four-dimensional models including the ±J Ising model, random Potts model, random lattice gauge theory,...
