Finite-Dimensional Spin Glasses: States, Excitations, and Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the underlying connections among the thermodynamic properties of short-ranged spin glasses, their behavior in large finite volumes, and the interfaces that separate different pure states, and also ground states and low-lying excitations.

Monte Carlo Simulations of Vector Spin Glasses at Low Temperatures
In this paper I report results for simulations of the three-dimensional gauge glass and the four-dimensional XY spin glass using the parallel tempering Monte Carlo method at low temperatures for moderate sizes. The results are qualitatively consistent with earlier work on the threeand four-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass. I find evidence that large-scale excitations may cost only ...
متن کاملA geometrical picture for finite dimensional spin glasses
– A controversial issue in spin glasses is whether mean field theory correctly describes 3-dimensional spin glasses. If it does, how can replica symmetry breaking arise in terms of spin clusters in Euclidean space? Here we argue that there exist system-size low energy excitations that are “sponge-like”, generating multiple valleys separated by energy barriers whose heights diverge in the infini...
متن کاملLow-Temperature Excitations of Dilute Lattice Spin Glasses
– A new approach to exploring low-temperature excitations in finite-dimensional lattice spin glasses is proposed. By focusing on bond-diluted lattices just above the percolation threshold, large system sizes L can be obtained which lead to enhanced scaling regimes and more accurate exponents. Furthermore, this method in principle remains practical for any dimension, yielding exponents that so f...
متن کاملOrdering and Broken Symmetry in Short-Ranged Spin Glasses
In this topical review we discuss the nature of the low-temperature phase in both infiniteranged and short-ranged spin glasses. We analyze the meaning of pure states in spin glasses, and distinguish between physical, or “observable”, states and (probably) unphysical, “invisible” states. We review replica symmetry breaking, and describe what it would mean in shortranged spin glasses. We introduc...
متن کاملLarge-scale low-energy excitations in 3-d spin glasses Replica symmetry breaking and characterization in position space
We numerically extract large-scale excitations above the ground state in the 3-dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin glass with Gaussian couplings. We find that associated energies are O(1), in agreement with the mean field picture. Of further interest are the position-space properties of these excitations. First, our study of their topological properties show that the majority of the large-scale e...
