Spin Glasses: a Perspective

David Sherrington

Published 2005-12-18, updated 2006-02-17Version 2

A brief personal perspective is given of issues, questions, formulations, methods, some answers and selected extensions posed by the spin glass problem, showing how considerations of an apparently insignificant and practically unimportant group of metallic alloys stimulated an explosion of new insights and opportunities in the general area of complex many-body systems and still is doing so

Comments: For publication in the proceedings of International Conference on "Equilibrium and Dynamics of Spin Glasses" (Ascona, Switzerland: April 2004). V2 has minor changes to clarify and correct typos
