Replica method and finite volume corrections (Q963282)

The authors show that by starting from a reasonable form for the leading contribution in an exact representation the one step replica broken solution can be recovered. The authors introduce a method to calculate the fluctuations over the parameter \(m\) of the solution. The parameter \(m\) is the saddle point value over an integrating field of which provided the correct measure. The limit of uncorrelated energies is checked for which the solution obtained by Derrida without making use of replicas is recovered. The computation suggests a new approach for deriving the replica broken results in a rigorous way.
