Linear low energy excitations in fully-connected models of glasses

Abstract: We study the linear excitations around typical energy minima of a mean-field disordered model with continuous degrees of freedom undergoing a random first order transition. Contrary to naive expectations, the spectra of linear excitations are ungapped and we find the presence of a pseudogap corresponding to localized excitations with arbitrary low excitation energy. Moving to deeper minima in the landscape, the excitations appear increasingly localized while their abundance decreases. Beside typical minima, th… Show more

“…It is possible to construct disordered mean-field models with localized low-energy modes or modes that are either localized or extended that correlate with local structure ( 39 42 ). However, existing numerical work on our system ( 7 ) suggests convergence to the spectrum of the perceptron, with zero density of low-frequency localized modes, as at γ = 0, N finite.…”

“…It should be possible to capture such behavior in a mean-field description of structural glasses. For example, recent work has shown how mean-field spin glass models can have low-energy modes that localize on sites with a low local magnetic field (which acts as a heterogeneous structural variable) ( 41 , 42 ). In those models, this correlation is proven by studying the low-energy vibrational modes; as discussed above, however, our picture suggests that such a computation for structural glasses must be carried out at nonzero applied strain before the limit is taken.…”

“…For some specific distributions of h i , the condensation becomes a sharp phase transition in the limit of the large number of components [2]. Interestingly, this condensation transition has a similar mathematical structure of that of the Bose-Einstein condensation [2,[7][8][9].…”

“…Moreover, we note that vectorial models for O(M) spins have been used recently in [27,28] to model the density of states in zero temperature amorphous solids. The model in equation ( 1) differs from [27,28] because of two points: (i) we consider real (unbounded) spins subjected to a random anharmonic (quartic) local potential which is essential for the physical behavior close to the mean field spin glass transition at zero temperature, and (ii) we include, as in [19], the adjacency matrix c and use the M → ∞ limit as a way to generate a field theory expansion at fixed and finite spatial dimension. For d → ∞ and M = 1 the model reduces to the KHGPS model as much as in the same limit the Edwards-Anderson model [29] gives the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model [30].…”
