Phys. Soc. Jpn", "categories": [ "cond-mat.stat-mech" ], "abstract": "We study the random-field Ising model with long-range interactions and show the exactness of the mean-field theory under certain mild conditions. This is a generalization of the result of Mori for the non-random and spin-glass cases. To treat random fields, we evoke the self-averaging property of a function of random fields, without recourse to the replica method. The result is that the mean-field theory gives the exact expression of the canonical free energy for systems with power-decaying interactions if the power is smaller than or equal to the spatial dimension.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-06-10T09:55:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mean-field theory", "long-range interactions", "random-field model", "treat random fields", "spatial dimension" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.7566/JPSJ.83.074002", "journal": "Journal of the Physical Society of Japan", "year": 2014, "month": "Jul", "volume": 83, "number": 7, "pages": "074002" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014JPSJ...83g4002T" } } }
