"Chaos in lattice spin glasses"

Abstract: 
In spite of tremendous progress in the mean-field theory of spin glasses in the last forty years, culminating in Giorgio Parisi’s Nobel Prize in 2021, the more “realistic” short-range spin glass models have remained almost completely intractable. In this talk, I will show that the ground states of short-range spin glasses are chaotic with respect to small perturbations of the disorder, settling a conjecture made by Daniel Fisher and David Huse in 1986.
