Finite-size scaling at the dynamical transition of the mean-field 10-state Potts glass

We use Monte Carlo simulations to study the static and dynamical properties of a Potts glass with infinite-range Gaussian-distributed exchange interactions for a broad range of temperature and system size up to N = 2560 spins. The results are compatible with a critical divergence of the relaxation time τ at the theoretically predicted dynamical transition temperature T D , τ ∝ ( T − T D ) −Δ with Δ ≈ 2. For finite N a further power law at T = T D is found, τ( T = T D ) ∝ N z ⋆ with z ⋆ ≈ 1.5 and for T > T D dynamical finite-size scaling seems to hold. The order parameter distribution P ( q ) is qualitatively compatible with the scenario of a first-order glass transition as predicted from one-step replica symmetry breaking schemes.
