Ground State Excitations and Energy Fluctuations in Short-Range Spin Glasses

C. M. Newman, D. L. Stein

We study the stability of ground states in the Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass in dimensions two and higher against perturbations of a single coupling. After reviewing the concep…

Zero Temperature Dynamics of Ising Systems on Hypercubes

Ruixin Chen, Jonathan Machta, Charles M. Newman +1

We study the zero-temperature Glauber dynamics of homogeneous Ising ferromagnets on hypercubes, as their dimension d varies. We investigate the asymptotic (d goes to infinity and t…

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…

Overlap Structure and Free Energy Fluctuations in Short-Range Spin Glasses

C. M. Newman, D. L. Stein

We investigate scenarios in which the low-temperature phase of short-range spin glasses comprises thermodynamic states which are nontrivial mixtures of multiple incongruent pure st…

Proof of single-replica equivalence in short-range spin glasses

C. M. Newman, N. Read, D. L. Stein

We consider short-range Ising spin glasses in equilibrium at infinite system size, and prove that, for fixed bond realization and a given Gibbs state drawn from a suitable metastat…
