The p-spin spherical spin glass model

Abstract

This review presents various aspects of a mean-field spin glass model known as the p-spin spherical spin glass model, which has raised a lot of interest in the study of spin glasses, and also for its possible links with a mean-field theory of structural glasses. This preprint contains no new results and is therefore not intended to be published, but its aim is to present a collection of results and formulas concerning this very rich model. It is in fact the english translation of one of the chapters of my PhD thesis (``Quelques aspects de la dynamique hors d'equilibre des verres de spin'', ``Some aspects of the out of equilibrium dynamics of spin glasses''). A postscript version (in french) of this PhD thesis will soon be available at http://www.lpt.ens.fr .
