Universality in spin glasses: A Monte Carlo study

POSTER

Abstract

We study universality in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses by large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of the Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass for several choices of bond distributions, with particular emphasis on Gaussian and bimodal interactions. A finite-size scaling analysis suggests that three-dimensional Ising spin glasses obey universality. Results in two space dimensions are briefly discussed.
