Abstract

The spin-glass phase is characterized by the existence of many pure states due to random exchange interactions between spins. Parisi established the novel concept of replica symmetry breaking (RSB) from Sherrington Kirkpatrick’s mean-field theory via an abstract replica trick. In this article, his RSB scheme is reviewed from the view point of infinitely many pure states.
