The ordered phase of the one-dimensional Ising spin glass with long-range interactions (1005.0561v1)
Published 4 May 2010 in cond-mat.dis-nn and cond-mat.stat-mech
Abstract: The one-dimensional long-range Ising spin glass provides useful insights into the properties of finite dimensional spin glasses with short-range interactions. The defect energy renormalization group equations derived for it by Kotliar, Anderson and Stein have been re-examined and a new fixed point has been found. The fixed points which have previously been studied are found to be inappropriate. It is shown that the renormalization group equations themselves directly imply that the spin glass phase is replica symmetric, in agreement with droplet model expectations, when the range exponent $\sigma$ lies between the upper and lower critical values.
