Low-temperature solution of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model
1National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Florida State University, Tallahassee, 32306, USA.
Abstract:
I propose a simple scaling ansatz for the full replica symmetry breaking solution of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model in the low energy sector. This solution is shown to become exact in the limit x --> 0, Bx --> infinity of the Parisi replica symmetry breaking scheme parameter . The distribution function of the frozen fields has been known to develop a linear gap at zero temperature. The scaling equations are integrated to find an exact numerical value for the slope of the gap thetaP(x,y)/delta|(y --> 0) = 0.301 046.... I also use the scaling solution to devise an inexpensive numerical procedure for computing finite time scale (x =1) quantities. The entropy, the zero field cooled susceptibility, and the local field distribution function are computed in the low-temperature limit with high precision, barely achievable by currently available methods.
