Combinatorial Approach to the Ground-State Energy of Square and Triangular +/- J Spin Glasses
Abstract
A new combinatorial, analytical approach to the ground-state energy problem of spin glasses with different concentrations of +/- J interactions is developed. The energy e0 is expressed in terms of the fraction of broken bonds mu0 and expanded into a fast converging series of the average length of a segment between two frustrated plaquettes of a minimum-weighted perfect matching Lambdamean. The concept of so called diagram stability s is introduced in order to calculate coefficients of this expansion. Finally, the fraction mu0 as a function of the concentration p of negative bonds is obtained for triangular and square infinite lattices in excellent accordance with numerical simulations of large adequate systems.
