We uncover a new kind of entropic long range order in finite dimensional spin glasses. We study the link-diluted version of the Edwards-Anderson spin glass model with bimodal couplings (J = +/- 1) on a 3D lattice. By using exact reduction algorithms, we prove that there exists a region of the phase diagram (at zero temperature and low enough link density), where spins are long range correlated, even if the ground state energy stiffness is null. In other words, in this region twisting the boundary conditions costs no energy, but spins are long range correlated by means of pure entropic effects.

Abstract
We uncover a new kind of entropic long range order in finite dimensional spin glasses. We study the link-diluted version of the Edwards-Anderson spin glass model with bimodal couplings (J = +/- 1) on a 3D lattice. By using exact reduction algorithms, we prove that there exists a region of the phase diagram (at zero temperature and low enough link density), where spins are long range correlated, even if the ground state energy stiffness is null. In other words, in this region twisting the boundary conditions costs no energy, but spins are long range correlated by means of pure entropic effects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
