Finite size effects and replica symmetry breaking; what can we learn from exact results?
Statistical Physics and Complexity Group meeting
Finite size effects and replica symmetry breaking; what can we learn from exact results?
- Event time: 11:30am until 12:30pm
- Event date: 23rd May 2018
- Speaker: Dr Peter Mottishaw (School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Edinburgh)
- Location: Room 2511, James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
Event details
The talk will provide an introduction to the idea of replica symmetry breaking in some simple models such as the random energy model and the directed polymer in a random medium. I will then talk about some of the results I have obtained with Bernard Derrida using exact methods for finite size corrections and compare them to the replica approach.
