After averaging over large sets of EA system samples of 3 =< L =< 10, we obtain accurate numbers for distributions p(q) of the overlap parameter q at very low temperature T. We find p(0)/T --> 0.233(4) as T --> 0. This is in contrast with the droplet scenario of spin glasses. We also study the number of mismatched links --between replica pairs-- that come with large scale excitations. Contributions from small scale excitations are discarded. We thus obtain for the fractal dimension of outer surfaces of q~0 excitations in the EA model d_s --> 2.59(3) as T tends to 0. This is in contrast with d_s --> 3 as T --> 0 that is predicted by mean field theory for the macroscopic limit.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-04-29T12:26:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "75.10.Nr", "75.30.Kz", "75.40.Mg", "75.50.Lk" ], "keywords": [ "edwards-anderson spin-glass model", "low temperature", "numerical results", "mean field theory", "large scale excitations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2013, "month": "Apr", "volume": 87, "number": 13, "pages": 134205 }, "note": { "typesetting": "PDFLaTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvB..87m4205F" } } }
