Abstract

A replica-symmetric low-temperature expansion for the short-range Ising-spin-glass model may be arranged by the number of flipped-sites\char22{}sites that have spins in some, say m, of the n replicas ``down.'' The contribution of states with up to three flipped sites is obtained for the free energy and the Edwards-Anderson order parameter. The two-flipped sites contribution to the free energy, which at d\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty} gives the (negative) zero-temperature entropy of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, is shown at finite d to give no entropy at T=0. Higher-order contributions are argued to also not give any entropy at T=0.
