From inherent structures to pure states: some simple remarks and examples
Giulio Biroli, Remi Monasson
The notions of pure states and inherent structures, i.e. stable configurations against 1-spin flip are discussed. We explain why these different concepts accidentally coincide in m…
Theoretical study of collective modes in DNA at ambient temperature
Simona Cocco, Remi Monasson
The instantaneous normal modes corresponding to base pair vibrations (radial modes) and twist angle fluctuations (angular modes) of a DNA molecule model at ambient temperature are…
2+p-SAT: Relation of Typical-Case Complexity to the Nature of the Phase Transition
R. Monasson, R. Zecchina, S. Kirkpatrick +2
Heuristic methods for solution of problems in the NP-Complete class of decision problems often reach exact solutions, but fail badly at "phase boundaries", across which the decisio…
Statistical Mechanics of Torque Induced Denaturation of DNA
Simona Cocco, Remi Monasson
A unifying theory of the denaturation transition of DNA, driven by temperature T or induced by an external mechanical torque Gamma is presented. Our model couples the hydrogen-bond…
A single defect approximation for localized states on random lattices
G. Biroli, R. Monasson
Geometrical disorder is present in many physical situations giving rise to eigenvalue problems. The simplest case of diffusion on a random lattice with fluctuating site connectivit…
