The cumulative overlap distribution function in realistic spin glasses

Abstract

We use a sample-dependent analysis, based on medians and quantiles, to analyze the behavior of the overlap probability distribution of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick and 3D Edwards-Anderson models of Ising spin glasses. We find that this approach is an effective tool to distinguish between RSB-like and droplet-like behavior of the spin-glass phase. Our results are in agreement with a RSB-like behavior for the 3D Edwards-Anderson model.
