We find competition among a ``magnetized'' and a ``disordered'' phase, that are separated by a coexistence line as in ordinary first order phase transitions. The coexistence line terminates in a critical point, which in principle can be observed in numerical simulations of glassy models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-01-07T09:42:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "glassy systems", "external field", "ordinary first order phase transitions", "mean-field phase diagram", "coexistence line terminates" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
