In one and two space dimensions we find a mild form of chaos, meaning that the overlap of the old, unperturbed ground state and the new one is smaller than one, but extensive. In three dimensions the rearrangements are marginal (concentrated in the well defined domain walls). Implications for finite temperature variations and experiments are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-04-14T13:34:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random field ising model", "finite temperature variations", "small random perturbations", "exact ground states", "defined domain walls" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
