The nature of the different zero-temperature phases in discrete two-dimensional spin glasses: entropy, universality, chaos and cascades in the renormalization group flow

Abstract: The properties of discrete two-dimensional spin glasses depend strongly on the way the zero-temperature limit is taken. We discuss this phenomenon in the context of the Migdal-Kadanoff renormalization group. We see, in particular, how these properties are connected with the presence of a cascade of fixed points in the renormalization group flow. Of particular interest are two unstable fixed points that correspond to two different spin-glass phases at zero temperature. We discuss how these phenomena are related… Show more

“…Several renormalization group (RG) fixed points appear at T = 0, depending on the nature of the couplings distribution [26]. However, most of these fixed points are unstable even for the tiniest positive temperature: the only remaining universality class is the one of the continuous coupling constants [28,[32][33][34][35] (the very same effect is found in the random field Ising model [40]). …”

“…The couplings J ij are quenched random variables. At zero temperature, two distinct types of behavior are expected, one for discrete and commensurate allowed coupling values and a second class for distributions with incommensurate or continuous support 15,[17][18][19]57 . We consider one representative of each class, namely the symmetric bimodal (±J) distribution,…”

“…In the field of spin-glasses, the notion of 'chaos' has been introduced as the sensitivity of the renormalization flow seen as a 'dynamical system', with respect to the initial conditions (the random couplings) or with respect to external parameters like the temperature T or the magnetic field H. On hierarchical lattices where explicit renormalization rules exist for the renormalized couplings J R , the chaos properties have been thus much studied [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. For other lattices without explicit renormalization rules, the droplet scaling theory [11][12][13] allows to define the chaos properties as follows :…”
