Energy Landscape Statistics of the Random Orthogonal Model

The Random Orthogonal Model (ROM) of Marinari-Parisi-Ritort [MPR1,MPR2] is a model of statistical mechanics where the couplings among the spins are defined by a matrix chosen randomly within the orthogonal ensemble. It reproduces the most relevant properties of the Parisi solution of the Sherrington-Kirckpatrick model. Here we compute the energy distribution, and work out an extimate for the two-point correlation function. Moreover, we show exponential increase of the number of metastable states also for non zero magnetic field.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures, submitted to J. Phys.

Statistics of energy levels and zero temperature dynamics for deterministic spin models with glassy behaviour

We consider the zero-temperature dynamics for the infinite-range, non translation invariant one-dimensional spin model introduced by Marinari, Parisi and Ritort to generate glassy behaviour out of a deterministic interaction. It is shown that there can be a large number of metatastable (i.e., one-flip stable) states with very small overlap with the ground state but very close in energy to it, and that their total number increases exponentially with the size of the system.Comment: 25 pages, 8 figure

Thermodynamical Limit for Correlated Gaussian Random Energy Models

Let \{E_{\s}(N)\}_{\s\in\Sigma_N} be a family of $|\Sigma_N|=2^N$ centered unit Gaussian random variables defined by the covariance matrix $C_N$ of elements \displaystyle c_N(\s,\tau):=\av{E_{\s}(N)E_{\tau}(N)}, and H_N(\s) = - \sqrt{N} E_{\s}(N) the corresponding random Hamiltonian. Then the quenched thermodynamical limit exists if, for every decomposition $N=N_1+N_2$, and all pairs (\s,\t)\in \Sigma_N\times \Sigma_N: c_N(\s,\tau)\leq \frac{N_1}{N} c_{N_1}(\pi_1(\s),\pi_1(\tau))+ \frac{N_2}{N} c_{N_2}(\pi_2(\s),\pi_2(\tau)) where \pi_k(\s), k=1,2 are the projections of \s\in\Sigma_N into $\Sigma_{N_k}$. The condition is explicitly verified for the Sherrington-Kirckpatrick, the even $p$-spin, the Derrida REM and the Derrida-Gardner GREM models.Comment: 15 pages, few remarks and two references added.

Ground states for a class of deterministic spin models with glassy behaviour

We consider the deterministic model with glassy behaviour, recently introduced by Marinari, Parisi and Ritort, with \ha\ $H=\sum_{i,j=1}^N J_{i,j}\sigma_i\sigma_j$, where $J$ is the discrete sine Fourier transform. The ground state found by these authors for $N$ odd and $2N+1$ prime is shown to become asymptotically dege\-ne\-ra\-te when $2N+1$ is a product of odd primes, and to disappear for $N$ even. This last result is based on the explicit construction of a set of eigenvectors for $J$, obtained through its formal identity with the imaginary part of the propagator of the quantized unit symplectic matrix over the $2$-torus.Comment: 15 pages, plain LaTe

Egorov property in perturbed cat map

We study the time evolution of the quantum-classical correspondence (QCC) for the well known model of quantised perturbed cat maps on the torus in the very specific regime of semi-classically small perturbations. The quality of the QCC is measured by the overlap of classical phase-space density and corresponding Wigner function of the quantum system called quantum-classical fidelity (QCF). In the analysed regime the QCF strongly deviates from the known general behaviour in particular it decays faster then exponential. Here we study and explain the observed behavior of the QCF and the apparent violation of the QCC principle.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figure

Deterministic spin models with a glassy phase transition

We consider the infinite-range deterministic spin models with Hamiltonian $H=\sum_{i,j=1}^N J_{i,j}\sigma_i\sigma_j$, where $J$ is the quantization of a chaotic map of the torus. The mean field (TAP) equations are derived by summing the high temperature expansion. They predict a glassy phase transition at the critical temperature $T\sim 0.8$.Comment: 8 pages, no figures, RevTex forma

Universality in the flooding of regular islands by chaotic states

We investigate the structure of eigenstates in systems with a mixed phase space in terms of their projection onto individual regular tori. Depending on dynamical tunneling rates and the Heisenberg time, regular states disappear and chaotic states flood the regular tori. For a quantitative understanding we introduce a random matrix model. The resulting statistical properties of eigenstates as a function of an effective coupling strength are in very good agreement with numerical results for a kicked system. We discuss the implications of these results for the applicability of the semiclassical eigenfunction hypothesis.Comment: 11 pages, 12 figure
