X Abstract

We show that the generating functional describing the slow dynamics of spin-glass systems is invariant under reparametrizations of the time. This result is general and applies for both infinite and short-range models. It follows simply from the assumption that a separation between short time scales and long time scales exists in the system, and from the constraints of causality and unitarity. Globaltime reparametrization invariance suggests that the low action excitations in a spin-glass may be smoothly spatially varying time reparametrizations. These Goldstone modes may provide the basis for an analytic dynamical theory of short-range spin glasses.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
