A challenge for critical point of spin glass in ground state

We show several calculations to identify the critical point in the ground state in random spin systems including spin glasses on the basis of the duality analysis. The duality analysis is a profound method to obtain the precise location of the critical point in finite temperature even for spin glasses. We propose a single equality for identifying the critical point in the ground state from several speculations. The equality can indeed give the exact location of the critical points for the bond-dilution Ising model on several lattices and provides insight on further analysis on the ground state in spin glasses.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, to appear in Proceedings of 4th YSM-SPIP (Sendai, 14-16 December 2012

Langevin dynamics neglecting detailed balance condition

An improved method for driving a system into a desired distribution, for example, the Gibbs-Boltzmann distribution, is proposed, which makes use of an artificial relaxation process. The standard techniques for achieving the Gibbs-Boltzmann distribution involve numerical simulations under the detailed balance condition. In contrast, in the present study we formulate the Langevin dynamics, for which the corresponding Fokker-Planck operator includes an asymmetric component violating the detailed balance condition. This leads to shifts in the eigenvalues and results in the acceleration of the relaxation toward the steady state. The numerical implementation demonstrates faster convergence and shorter correlation time, and the technique of biased event sampling, Nemoto-Sasa theory, further highlights the efficacy of our method.Comment: 5 pages, published in PRE (The previous title was "Acceleration of Monte Carlo simulations without detailed balance condition from Perspective of Nonequilibrium Behavior"

Mathematical understanding of detailed balance condition violation and its application to Langevin dynamics

We develop an efficient sampling method by simulating Langevin dynamics with an artificial force rather than a natural force by using the gradient of the potential energy. The standard technique for sampling following the predetermined distribution such as the Gibbs-Boltzmann one is performed under the detailed balance condition. In the present study, we propose a modified Langevin dynamics violating the detailed balance condition on the transition-probability formulation. We confirm that the numerical implementation of the proposed method actually demonstrates two major beneficial improvements: acceleration of the relaxation to the predetermined distribution and reduction of the correlation time between two different realizations in the steady state.Comment: 18pages, 3 figures, proceeedings of STATPHYS KOLKATA VII

Multicritical point of spin glasses

We present a theoretical framework to accurately calculate the location of the multicritical point in the phase diagram of spin glasses. The result shows excellent agreement with numerical estimates. The basic idea is a combination of the duality relation, the replica method, and the gauge symmetry. An additional element of the renormalization group, in particular in the context of hierarchical lattices, leads to impressive improvements of the predictions.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Dedicated to Prof. A.
