Replica symmetry breaking condition exposed by a random matrix calculation
Ian Williams (Nottingham)
Venue: Brunel U. ยท Room: M128 ยท Time: 17:00 ยท Type: Regular Seminar
Abstract:
We consider the statistical mechanics of a single classical
particle placed in an N dimensional gaussian random potential. This is a model system showing several features of glassy systems. The connection between replica symmetry breaking and the complexity of stationary points and minima is revealed in this model by random matrix methods.
