Free energy fluctuations in Ising spin glasses
arXiv:cond-mat/0211707 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.177201
Abstract
The sample-to-sample fluctuations of the free energy in finite-dimensional Ising spin glasses are calculated, using the replica method, from higher order terms in the replica number $n$. It is shown that the Parisi symmetry breaking scheme does not give the correct answers for these higher order terms. A modified symmetry breaking scheme with the same stability is shown to resolve the problem.
