David S. Dean 1, 2, David Lancaster 3, Satya Majumdar 4 Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment 1 (2005) L01001 We study the finite temperature statistical mechanics of Hamiltonian paths between a set of N quenched randomly distributed points in a finite domain D. The energy of the path is a function of the distance between neighboring points on the path, an […]

Satya N. Majumdar 1, M. R. Evans 2, R. K. P. Zia 3 Physical Review Letters 94 (2005) 180601 We study the phenomenon of real space condensation in the steady state of a class of one dimensional mass transport models. We derive the criterion for the occurrence of a condensation transition and analyse the precise nature of the shape and the

Olivier Rivoire 1 Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment 1 (2005) P04007 A method is introduced for studying large deviations in the context of statistical physics of disordered systems. The approach, based on an extension of the cavity method to atypical realizations of the quenched disorder, allows us to compute exponentially small probabilities (rate functions) over

Joel Chavas 1, Cyril Furtlehner 2, Marc Mezard 2, Riccardo Zecchina 3 Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment P (2005) P11016 We discuss the implementation of two distributed solvers of the random K-SAT problem, based on some development of the recently introduced survey-propagation (SP) algorithm. The first solver, called the \’SP diffusion algorithm\’, diffuses as dynamical information the maximum bias over the

A. Braunstein 1, 2, M. Mezard 3, R. Zecchina 2 Random Structures and Algorithms 27 (2005) 201-226 We study the satisfiability of randomly generated formulas formed by $M$ clauses of exactly $K$ literals over $N$ Boolean variables. For a given value of $N$ the problem is known to be most difficult with $\\alpha=M/N$ close to the experimental threshold $\\alpha_c$ separating the region

G. Orso 1, G. V. Shlyapnikov 2, 3 Physical Review Letters 95 (2005) 260402 We calculate the superfluid transition temperature for a two-component 3D Fermi gas in a 1D tight optical lattice and discuss a dimensional crossover from the 3D to quasi-2D regime. For the geometry of finite size discs in the 1D lattice, we find that even for a
