Application of<i>p</i>-adic analysis to models of breaking of replica symmetry

Abstract

Methods of p-adic analysis are applied to the investigation of the spontaneous symmetry breaking in the models of spin glasses. A p-adic expression for the replica matrix is given and moreover the replica matrix in the models of spontaneous breaking of the replica symmetry in the simplest case is expressed in the form of the Vladimirov operator of p-adic fractional differentiation. Also the model of hierarchical diffusion (that was proposed to describe relaxation of spin glasses) investigated using p-adic analysis.
