It is shown that if the power law exponent $\\sigma$ is smaller than the spatial dimension $d$, the perturbation induces large scale avalanches which roll until they force the system to develop a pseudo gap in the excitation spectrum of the stabilities. This makes the perturbative long range interactions relevant for $\\sigma < \\sigma_c = d$. The droplet theory predicts that the critical exponent $\\sigma_c$ depends on the droplet stiffness exponent as $\\sigma_c=d-\\theta$. Combining these two results leads to a zero stiffness exponent $\\theta = 0$ in the droplet theory of short range spin glasses.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-03-25T04:52:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "short range spin glasses", "zero droplet stiffness exponent", "large avalanches", "long range interactions relevant", "induces large scale avalanches" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0903.4235P" } } }
