Introducing a simple one-step replica symmetry breaking ansatz we investigate the para-glass continuous (discontinuous) transition which occurs below (above) a critical value of the quadrupole dimension m*. By using a mean-field approximation we study the stability of the one-step replica symmetry breaking solution and show that for m>m* there are two transitions. The thermodynamic transition is discontinuous but there is no latent heat. At a higher temperature we find the dynamical or glass transition temperature and the corresponding discontinuous jump of the order parameter.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-10-11T16:14:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "one-step replica symmetry breaking solution", "quadrupolar glass model", "replica symmetry breaking ansatz", "transition", "simple one-step replica symmetry" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
