Metastable States in High Order Short-Range Spin Glasses

چکیده
Abstract. The mean number 〈N〉 of metastable states in higher order shortrange spin glasses is estimated analytically using a variational method introduced by Tanaka and Edwards for very large coordination numbers. For lattices with small connectivities, numerical simulations do not show any significant dependence on the relative positions of the interacting spins on the lattice, indicating thus that these systems can be described by a few macroscopic parameters. As an extremely anisotropic model we consider the low autocorrelated binary spin model and we show through numerical simulations that its landscape has an exceptionally large number of local optima.

Metastable states of a ferromagnet on random thin graphs
We calculate the mean number of metastable states of an Ising ferromagnet on random thin graphs of fixed connectivity c. We find, as for mean field spin glasses that this mean increases exponentially with the number of sites, and is the same as that calculated for the ±J spin glass on the same graphs. An annealed calculation of the number 〈NMS(E)〉 of metastable states of energy E is carried out...
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 کاملTemperature evolution and bifurcations of metastable states in mean-field spin glasses, with connections with structural glasses
The correlations of the free-energy landscape of mean-field spin glasses at different temperatures are investigated, concentrating on models with a first-order freezing transition. Using a ‘potential function’ we follow the metastable states of the model in temperature, and discuss the possibility of level crossing (which we do not find) and multifurcation (which we find). The dynamics at a giv...
متن کاملTowards an experimental determination of the number of metastable states in spin-glasses?
We argue that trie systematic deviation from perfect aging (which means that trie relaxation function only depend on the ratio £, where tw is trie waiting time) observed in spin-glasses can be accounted for if trie numberlf available metastable states is finite. A significant fraction of these metastable states will be visited after an "ergodic" time which we estimate from trie experiments to b...
