Metastate analysis for two-dimensional Ising spin glasses — •Alexander K. Hartmann1 and A. Peter Young2 — 1University of Oldenburg, Germany — 2University of California, Santa Cruz, USA
Spin glasses (SGs) are disordered magnetic systems which provide prototypical models for complex systems, including systems outside physics such as neural networks and machine-learning problems. For the two-dimensional (2d) case, exact numerical ground states (GSs) of large sizes can be obtained by polynomial-time graph-matching algorithms. Using these methods it was shown that 2d SGs exhibit a spin-glass ordered phase only at zero temperature, see e.g. [1]. Results from applying a modified version of the GS algorithm indicate that this phase is well described [2] by the so-called “droplet” theory, i.e., it has a simple structure. Here, we consider the metastate approach, which was introduced [3] to deal with the chaotic size-dependence of the spin-glass state. By studying a large range of sizes, we show convincingly that, in the thermodynamic limit, spin correlations in a local region are unaffected by the bonds far away, which is one of the main assumptions of the droplet picture.
