A note on the Guerra and Talagrand theorems for Mean Field Spin Glasses: the simple case of spherical models
The aim of this paper is to discuss the main ideas of the Talagrand proof of
the Parisi Ansatz for the free-energy of Mean Field Spin Glasses with a
physicist's approach. We consider the case of the spherical -spin model,
which has the following advantages: 1) the Parisi Ansatz takes the simple ``one
step replica symmetry breaking form'', 2) the replica free-energy as a function
of the order parameters is simple enough to allow for numerical maximization
with arbitrary precision. We present the essential ideas of the proof, we
stress its connections with the theory of effective potentials for glassy
systems, and we reduce the technically more difficult part of the Talagrand's
analysis to an explicit evaluation of the solution of a variational problem.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures. Added references and minor language correction
Spin glass models with Kac interactions
In this paper I will review my work on disordered systems -spin glass model
with two body and body interactions- with long but finite interaction
range . I will describe the relation of these model with Mean Field Theory
in the Kac limit and some attempts to go beyond mean field.Comment: Proceedings of the Stat-phys23 conferenc
Exact Solutions of Bethe-Salpeter Equations with Instantaneous Interactions
The Bethe-Salpeter approach allows for quantum-field-theoretic descriptions
of relativistic bound states; its inherent complexity, however, usually
prevents to find its exact solutions. Under suitable simplifying assumptions
about the systems discussed, we derive analytically some examples of rigorous
solutions to the instantaneous homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter equation by relating
tentative solutions to the interactions responsible for the formation of bound
states.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures; v2: slightly augmented summary, matches version

Instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter Look at the Lightest Pseudoscalar Mesons
Within our description of Goldstone-type pseudoscalar mesons as almost
massless bound states of quark and antiquark by a three-dimensional bound-state
equation of Bethe-Salpeter origin, taking into account the pointwise behaviour
of the full light-quark propagators enables to characterize the effective
interquark interactions more precisely than earlier studies exploiting just
specific aspects.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, contributed to "XVII International Conference on

The Spinless Relativistic Woods-Saxon Problem
Motivated by the observation of a recent renewal of rather strong interest in
the description of bound states by (semi-) relativistic equations of motion, we
revisit, for the example of the Woods-Saxon interactions, the eigenvalue
problem posed by the spinless Salpeter equation and recall various elementary
knowledge, considerations, and techniques that practitioners seeking solutions
to this specific reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter equation may find helpful.Comment: 12 page
