Distribution of stationary points in spin glasses

Andrea Cavagna



Abstract

The role of stationary points different from minima in the behaviour of glassy systems has always been rather disregarded. Yet, in systems which exhibit an out of equilibrium dynamics it is likely that stationary points of any nature, together with their geometric and energetic distribution, do have an importance. We try to investigate this topic and to point out the relations with the underlying static scenario for some models of spin glasses.
