Finite-size scaling study of the d=4 site-diluted Ising
We study the four dimensional site-diluted Ising model using finite-size
scaling techniques. We explore the whole parameter space (density-coupling) in
order to determine the Universality Class of the transition line. Our data are
compatible with Mean Field behavior plus logarithmic corrections.Comment: Contribution to LATTICE 9
Bond diluted Levy spin-glass model and a new finite size scaling method to determine a phase transition
A spin-glass transition occurs both in and out of the limit of validity of
mean-field theory on a diluted one dimensional chain of Ising spins where
exchange bonds occur with a probability decaying as the inverse power of the
distance. Varying the power in this long-range model corresponds, in a
one-to-one relationship, to change the dimension in spin-glass short-range
models. Using different finite size scaling methods evidence for a spin-glass
transition is found also for systems whose equivalent dimension is below the
upper critical dimension at zero magnetic field. The application of a new
method is discussed, that can be exported to systems in a magnetic field.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, 1 tabl
The four dimensional site-diluted Ising model: a finite-size scaling study
Using finite-size scaling techniques, we study the critical properties of the
site-diluted Ising model in four dimensions. We carry out a high statistics
Monte Carlo simulation for several values of the dilution. The results support
the perturbative scenario: there is only the Ising fixed point with large
logarithmic scaling corrections. We obtain, using the Perturbative
Renormalization Group, functional forms for the scaling of several observables
that are in agreement with the numerical data.Comment: 30 pages, 8 postscript figure
Supersymmetry and localization
We study conditions under which an odd symmetry of the integrand leads to
localization of the corresponding integral over a (super)manifold. We also show
that in many cases these conditions guarantee exactness of the stationary phase
approximation of such integrals.Comment: 16 pages, LATE
Replica Symmetry Breaking in Attractor Neural Network Models
The phenomenon of replica symmetry breaking is investigated for the retrieval
phases of Hopfield-type network models. The basic calculation is done for the
generalized version of the standard model introduced by Horner [1] and by
Perez-Vicente and Amit [2] which can exhibit low mean levels of neural
activity. For a mean activity the Hopfield model is recovered. In
this case, surprisingly enough, we cannot confirm the well known one step
replica symmetry breaking (1RSB) result for the storage capacity which was
presented by Crisanti, Amit and Gutfreund [3] (\alpha_c^{\hbox{\mf
1RSB}}\simeq 0.144). Rather, we find that 1RSB- and 2RSB-Ans\"atze yield only
slightly increased capacities as compared to the replica symmetric value
(\alpha_c^{\hbox{\mf 1RSB}}\simeq 0.138\,186 and \alpha_c^{\hbox{\mf
2RSB}}\simeq 0.138\,187 compared to \alpha_c^{\hbox{\mf RS}}\simeq
0.137\,905), significantly smaller also than the value \alpha_c^{\hbox{\mf
sim}} = 0.145\pm 0.009 reported from simulation studies. These values still
lie within the recently discovered reentrant phase [4]. We conjecture that in
the infinite Parisi-scheme the reentrant behaviour disappears as is the case in
the SK-spin-glass model (Parisi--Toulouse-hypothesis). The same qualitative
results are obtained in the low activity range.Comment: Latex file, 20 pages, 8 Figures available from the authors upon

A Check of a D=4 Field-Theoretical Calculation Using the High-Temperature Expansion for Dyson's Hierarchical Model
We calculate the high-temperature expansion of the 2-point function up to
order 800 in beta. We show that estimations of the critical exponent gamma
based on asymptotic analysis are not very accurate in presence of confluent
logarithmic singularities. Using a direct comparison between the actual series
and the series obtained from a parametrization of the form (beta_c
-beta)^(-gamma) (Ln(beta_c -beta))^p +r), we show that the errors are minimized
for gamma =0.9997 and p=0.3351, in very good agreement with field-theoretical
calculations. We briefly discuss the related questions of triviality and
hyperscalingComment: Uses Revtex, 27 pages including 13 figure
High-Accuracy Calculations of the Critical Exponents of Dyson's Hierarchical Model
We calculate the critical exponent gamma of Dyson's hierarchical model by
direct fits of the zero momentum two-point function, calculated with an Ising
and a Landau-Ginzburg measure, and by linearization about the Koch-Wittwer
fixed point. We find gamma= 1.299140730159 plus or minus 10^(-12). We extract
three types of subleading corrections (in other words, a parametrization of the
way the two-point function depends on the cutoff) from the fits and check the
value of the first subleading exponent from the linearized procedure. We
suggest that all the non-universal quantities entering the subleading
corrections can be calculated systematically from the non-linear contributions
about the fixed point and that this procedure would provide an alternative way
to introduce the bare parameters in a field theory model.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures, uses revte
Monte Carlo Renormalization Group Analysis of Lattice Model in
We present a simple, sophisticated method to capture renormalization group
flow in Monte Carlo simulation, which provides important information of
critical phenomena. We applied the method to lattice model and
obtained renormalization flow diagram which well reproduces theoretically
predicted behavior of continuum model. We also show that the method
can be easily applied to much more complicated models, such as frustrated spin
models.Comment: 13 pages, revtex, 7 figures. v1:Submitted to PRE. v2:considerably

Spin and density overlaps in the frustrated Ising lattice gas
We perform large scale simulations of the frustrated Ising lattice gas, a
three-dimensional lattice model of a structural glass, using the parallel
tempering technique. We evaluate the spin and density overlap distributions,
and the corresponding non-linear susceptibilities, as a function of the
chemical potential. We then evaluate the relaxation functions of the spin and
density self-overlap, and study the behavior of the relaxation times. The
results suggest that the spin variables undergo a transition very similar to
the one of the Ising spin glass, while the density variables do not show any
sign of transition at the same chemical potential. It may be that the density
variables undergo a transition at a higher chemical potential, inside the phase
where the spins are frozen.Comment: 7 pages, 10 figure
Nature of the spin-glass phase at experimental length scales
We present a massive equilibrium simulation of the three-dimensional Ising
spin glass at low temperatures. The Janus special-purpose computer has allowed
us to equilibrate, using parallel tempering, L=32 lattices down to T=0.64 Tc.
We demonstrate the relevance of equilibrium finite-size simulations to
understand experimental non-equilibrium spin glasses in the thermodynamical
limit by establishing a time-length dictionary. We conclude that
non-equilibrium experiments performed on a time scale of one hour can be
matched with equilibrium results on L=110 lattices. A detailed investigation of
the probability distribution functions of the spin and link overlap, as well as
of their correlation functions, shows that Replica Symmetry Breaking is the
appropriate theoretical framework for the physically relevant length scales.
Besides, we improve over existing methodologies to ensure equilibration in
parallel tempering simulations.Comment: 48 pages, 19 postscript figures, 9 tables. Version accepted for
