Ground states for a class of deterministic spin models with glassy behaviour

Abstract: We consider the deterministic model with glassy behaviour, recently introduced by Marinari, Parisi and Ritort, with ha

H = s u m_{i, j = 1}^{N} J_{i, j} s i g m a_{i} s i g m a_{j}

, where

J

is the discrete sine Fourier transform. The ground state found by these authors for

N

odd and

2 N + 1

prime is shown to become asymptotically dege-ne-ra-te when

2 N + 1

is a product of odd primes, and to disappear for

N

even. This last result is based on the explicit construction of a set of eigenvectors for

J

, obtained through its formal identity with the imaginary part of the propagator of the quantized unit symplectic matrix over the

2

-torus.
