Critical Droplets and Replica Symmetry Breaking
C. M. Newman, D. L. Stein
We show that the notion of critical droplets is central to an understanding of the nature of ground states in the Edwards-Anderson Ising model of a spin glass in arbitrary dimensio…

Free Energy Difference Fluctuations in Short-Range Spin Glasses
C. M. Newman, D. L. Stein
It is generally believed (but not yet proved) that Ising spin glasses with nearest-neighbor interactions have a phase transition in three and higher dimensions to a low-temperature…
