Solvable Model of a Spin-Glass

We consider an Ising model in which the spins are coupled by infinite-ranged random interactions independently distributed with a Gaussian probability density. Both "spinglass" and ferromagnetic phases occur. The competition between the phases and the type of order present in each are studied.

Absence of Ferromagnetism or Antiferromagnetism in One- or Two-Dimensional Isotropic Heisenberg Models

It is rigorously proved that at any nonzero temperature, a one- or two-dimensional isotropic spin-$S$ Heisenberg model with finite-range exchange interaction can be neither ferromagnetic nor antiferromagnetic. The metho…

Optimization by Simulated Annealing

There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics (the behavior of systems with many degrees of freedom in thermal equilibrium at a finite temperature) and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (f…
