Aspect-Ratio Scaling of Domain Wall Entropy for the 2D $\pm J$ Ising Spin Glass

Abstract

The ground state entropy of the 2D Ising spin glass with +1 and -1 bonds is studied for $L\times M$ square lattices with $L\le M$ and $p$ = 0.5, where $p$ is the fraction of negative bonds, using periodic and/or antiperiodic boundary conditions. From this we obtain the domain wall entropy as a function of $L$ and $M$. It is found that for domain walls which run in the short, $L$ direction, there are finite-size scaling functions which depend on the ratio $M/L^{d_S}$, where $d_S=1.22\pm 0.01$. When $M$ is larger than $L$, very different scaling forms are found for odd $L$ and even $L$. For the zero-energy domain walls, which occur when $L$ is even, the probability distribution of domain wall entropy becomes highly singular, and apparently multifractal, as $M/L^{d_S}$ becomes large.
