Everything about Random energy model

In the statistical physics of disordered systems, the random energy model is a toy model of a system with quenched disorder, such as a spin glass, having a first-order phase transition. It concerns the statistics of a collection of spins so that the number of possible states for the system is. The energies of such states are independent and identically distributed Gaussian random variables with zero mean and a variance of. Many properties of this model can be computed exactly. Its simplicity makes this model suitable for pedagogical introduction of concepts like quenched disorder and replica symmetry. Wikipedia →
