Generalizations of Parisi's replica symmetry breaking and overlaps in random energy models

Bernard Derrida, Peter Mottishaw

The random energy model (REM) is the simplest spin glass model which exhibits replica symmetry breaking. It is well known since the 80's that its overlaps are non-selfaveraging and…

The discrete random energy model and one step replica symmetry breaking

Bernard Derrida, Peter Mottishaw

We solve the random energy model when the energies of the configurations take only integer values. In the thermodynamic limit, the average overlaps remain size dependent and oscill…

One step replica symmetry breaking and overlaps between two temperatures

Bernard Derrida, Peter Mottishaw

We obtain an exact analytic expression for the average distribution, in the thermodynamic limit, of overlaps between two copies of the same random energy model (REM) at different t…

Finite size corrections to the Parisi overlap function in the GREM

Bernard Derrida, Peter Mottishaw

We investigate the effects of finite size corrections on the overlap probabilities in the Generalized Random Energy Model (GREM) in two situations where replica symmetry is broken…

On the genealogy of branching random walks and of directed polymers

Bernard Derrida, Peter Mottishaw

It is well known that the mean field theory of directed polymers in a random medium exhibits replica symmetry breaking with a distribution of overlaps which consists of two delta f…
