An introduction to the theory of spin glasses

A Altieri, M Baity-Jesi - arxiv preprint arxiv:2302.04842, 2023 - arxiv.org
We review the main methods used to study spin glasses. In the first part, we focus on
methods for fully connected models and systems defined on a tree, such as the replica …

The radical complexity of rewiring supplier–buyer networks

C Colon, JP Bouchaud - Available at SSRN 4300311, 2022 - papers.ssrn.com
This paper questions the dynamic stability of supplier-buyer networks. We investigate a
simple rewiring process, by which firms change suppliers if it increases profit, within an …

Patterns robust to Disorder in spatially-interacting Generalized Lotka-Volterra Ecosystems

A Salvatore, F Aguirre-López, R Zakine - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.03809, 2025 - arxiv.org
How do interactions between species influence their spatial distribution in an ecosystem? To
answer this question, we introduce a spatially-extended ecosystem of Generalized Lotka …

Aspects of a phase transition in high-dimensional random geometry

A Prüser, I Kondor, A Engel - Entropy, 2021 - mdpi.com
A phase transition in high-dimensional random geometry is analyzed as it arises in a variety
