We investigate generalized Sherrington--Kirkpatrick glassy systems without reflection symmetry. In the neighbourhood of the transition temperature we in general uncover the structure of the glass state building the full-replica-symmetry breaking solution. Physical example of explicitly constructed solution is given.

We study in detail the quantum Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model, i.e. the infinite-range Ising spin glass in a transverse field, by solving numerically the effective one-dimensional model that the quantum SK model can be mapped to in the thermodynamic limit. We find that the replica symmetric (RS) solution is unstable down to zero temperature, in contrast to some previous claims, and so there is not only a line of transitions in the (longitudinal) field-temperature plane (the de Almeida-Thouless, AT, line) where replica symmetry is broken, but also a quantum de Almeida-Thouless (QuAT) line in the transverse field-longitudinal field plane at $T = 0$. If the QuAT line also occurs in models with short-range interactions its presence might affect the performance of quantum annealers when solving spin glass-type problems with a bias (i.e. magnetic field).
The behavior of the nonlinear susceptibility $chi_3$ and its relation to the spin-glass transition temperature $T_f$, in the presence of random fields, are investigated. To accomplish this task, the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model is studied through the replica formalism, within a one-step replica-symmetry-breaking procedure. In addition, the dependence of the Almeida-Thouless eigenvalue $lambda_{rm AT}$ (replicon) on the random fields is analyzed. Particularly, in absence of random fields, the temperature $T_f$ can be traced by a divergence in the spin-glass susceptibility $chi_{rm SG}$, which presents a term inversely proportional to the replicon $lambda_{rm AT}$. As a result of a relation between $chi_{rm SG}$ and $chi_3$, the latter also presents a divergence at $T_f$, which comes as a direct consequence of $lambda_{rm AT}=0$ at $T_f$. However, our results show that, in the presence of random fields, $chi_3$ presents a rounded maximum at a temperature $T^{*}$, which does not coincide with the spin-glass transition temperature $T_f$ (i.e., $T^* > T_f$ for a given applied random field). Thus, the maximum value of $chi_3$ at $T^*$ reflects the effects of the random fields in the paramagnetic phase, instead of the non-trivial ergodicity breaking associated with the spin-glass phase transition. It is also shown that $chi_3$ still maintains a dependence on the replicon $lambda_{rm AT}$, although in a more complicated way, as compared with the case without random fields. These results are discussed in view of recent observations in the LiHo$_x$Y$_{1-x}$F$_4$ compound.
We investigate the generalized p-spin models that contain arbitrary diagonal operators U with no reflection symmetry. We derive general equations that give an opportunity to uncover the behavior of the system near the glass transition at different (continuous) p. The quadrupole glass with J=1 is considered as an illustrating example. It is shown that the crossover from continuous to discontinuous glass transition to one-step replica breaking solution takes place at p=3.3 for this model. For p <2+Delta p, where Delta p= 0.5 is a finite value, stable 1RSB-solution disappears. This behaviour is strongly different from that of the p-spin Ising glass model.
We develop a simple method to study the high temperature, or high external field, behavior of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass model. The basic idea is to couple two different replicas with a quadratic term, trying to push out the two replica overlap from its replica symmetric value. In the case of zero external field, our results reproduce the well known validity of the annealed approximation, up to the known critical value for the temperature. In the case of nontrivial external field, we prove the validity of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick replica symmetric solution up to a line, which falls short of the Almeida-Thouless line, associated to the onset of the spontaneous replica symmetry breaking, in the Parisi Ansatz. The main difference with the method, recently developed by Michel Talagrand, is that we employ a quadratic coupling, and not a linear one. The resulting flow equations, with respect to the parameters of the model, turn out to be much simpler, and more tractable. By applying the cavity method, we show also how to determine free energy and overlap fluctuations, in the region where replica symmetry has been shown to hold.
Let ${boldsymbol A}in{mathbb R}^{ntimes n}$ be a symmetric random matrix with independent and identically distributed Gaussian entries above the diagonal. We consider the problem of maximizing $langle{boldsymbol sigma},{boldsymbol A}{boldsymbol sigma}rangle$ over binary vectors ${boldsymbol sigma}in{+1,-1}^n$. In the language of statistical physics, this amounts to finding the ground state of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses. The asymptotic value of this optimization problem was characterized by Parisi via a celebrated variational principle, subsequently proved by Talagrand. We give an algorithm that, for any $varepsilon>0$, outputs ${boldsymbol sigma}_*in{-1,+1}^n$ such that $langle{boldsymbol sigma}_*,{boldsymbol A}{boldsymbol sigma}_*rangle$ is at least $(1-varepsilon)$ of the optimum value, with probability converging to one as $ntoinfty$. The algorithms time complexity is $C(varepsilon), n^2$. It is a message-passing algorithm, but the specific structure of its update rules is new. As a side result, we prove that, at (low) non-zero temperature, the algorithm constructs approximate solutions of the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer equations.
