Randomized trial explores thermodynamic properties of infinite-ranged spin-glasses, indicating limitations at low temperatures.

The research aims to define infinite-ranged models of spin-glasses and evaluate their thermodynamic properties using mean-field theory.
Defined Hamiltonians as limiting cases within mean-field theory for spin-glasses.
Employed a many-replica procedure to evaluate thermodynamic properties for Ising and XY spins.
Conducted extensive computer simulations of infinite-ranged Ising spin-glasses to analyze the phase diagram and dynamics.
The replica theory accurately predicts thermodynamic properties at and above the ordering temperature but fails at low temperatures.
Computer simulations confirm the phase diagram of infinite-ranged Ising spin-glasses and validate the extended mean-field theory predictions.
Critical slowing down was observed with specific decay rates for spin-spin correlations above and below the spin-glass transition temperature.

Kirkpatrick et al. (1978) studied this question.
