Abstract

Abstract The Sherrmgton-Kirkpatrick model of a spin glass is solved by a mean field technique which is probably exact in the limit of infinite range interactions. At and above T c the solution is identical to that obtained by Sherrington and Kirkpatrick (1975) using the n → O replica method, but below T c the new result exhibits several differences and remains physical down to T = 0.
