Abstract

We give the theory of a model spin glass of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick type. Determining that the free energy is given by the potential function of a two-dimensional electrostatic medium, we find exact expressions for this quantity in terms of a multipole expansion of the charge distribution. We also obtain the internal energy, entropy, and specific heat in the form of explicit integrals over the multipole distributions. Pending the outcome of a quantitative investigation into the structure of these functions, here we discuss their properties in a qualitative way.
