This review summarizes recent developments in the theory of spin glasses, as well as
pertinent experimental data. The most characteristic properties of spin glass systems are …

With the high-temperature superconductors a qualitatively new regime in the
phenomenology of type-II superconductivity can be accessed. The key elements governing …

The phase of condensed matter known as spin glasses has become a vital and productive
area of research. Historically, experiment has suggested unusual effects which have brought …

A theoretical perspective is provided on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal
equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials …

Concepts, methods and techniques of statistical physics in the study of correlated, as well as
uncorrelated, phenomena are being applied ever increasingly in the natural sciences …

Statistical mechanics provides a framework for describing the physics of large, complex
many-body systems using only a few macroscopic parameters to determine the state of the …

This is an extended version of my Nobel Lecture, delivered on December 8, 2021. I will
recall the genesis of the concept of multiple equilibria in natural sciences. I will then describe …

Spin glasses are magnetic materials. Statistical mechanics, a subfield of physics, has been a
powerful tool to theoretically analyze various unique properties of spin glasses. This book is …

A simple model of disordered systems—the random-energy model—is introduced and
solved. This model is the limit of a family of disordered models, when the correlations …

In this paper we summarize the work done by our group in develo** and applying the
closed time-path Green function (C1'PGF) formalism, first suggested by J. Schwinger and …
