Spherical Model of a Spin-Glass

Kosterlitz, J. M., Thouless, D. J., Jones, Raymund C.·1976·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

A spherical model of a spin-glass is solved in the limit of infinite-ranged interactions with a Gaussian probability distribution. We use the known properties of a large random matrix, and show that the results are identical to those obtained by the $n\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ trick. We believe that the solution is exact.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
