About the Functional Form of the Parisi Overlap Distribution for the Three-Dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising Spin Glass

Abstract

Recently, it has been conjectured that the statistics of extremes is of relevance for a large class of correlated system. For certain probability densities this predicts the characteristic large $x$ fall-off behavior $f(x)\sim \exp (-a{e}^x)$, $a>0$. Using a multicanonical Monte Carlo technique, we have calculated the Parisi overlap distribution $P(q)$ for the three-dimensional Edward-Anderson Ising spin glass at and below the critical temperature, even where $P(q)$ is exponentially small. We find that a probability distribution related to extreme order statistics gives an excellent description of $P(q)$ over about 80 orders of magnitude.
