Replica Fourier Transform: Properties and Applications
arXiv:1410.4023 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2014.12.002
Abstract
The Replica Fourier Transform is the generalization of the discrete Fourier Transform to quantities defined on an ultrametric tree. It finds use in con- junction of the replica method used to study thermodynamics properties of disordered systems such as spin glasses. Its definition is presented in a system- atic and simple form and its use illustrated with some representative examples. In particular we give a detailed discussion of the diagonalization in the Replica Fourier Space of the Hessian matrix of the Gaussian fluctuations about the mean field saddle point of spin glass theory. The general results are finally discussed for a generic spherical spin glass model, where the Hessian can be computed analytically.
