  ABSTRACT = {We discuss replica symmetry breaking (RSB) in spin
                  glasses. We update work in this area, from both the
                  analytical and numerical points of view. We give
                  particular attention to the difficulties stressed by
                  Newman and Stein concerning the problem of
                  constructing pure states in spin glass systems. We
                  mainly discuss what happens in finite-dimensional,
                  realistic spin glasses. Together with a detailed
                  review of some of the most important features,
                  facts, data, and phenomena, we present some new
                  theoretical ideas and numerical results. We discuss
                  among others the basic idea of the RSB theory,
                  correlation functions, interfaces, overlaps, pure
                  states, random field, and the dynamical approach. We
                  present new numerical results for the behaviors of
                  coupled replicas and about the numerical
                  verification of sum rules, and we review some of the
                  available numerical results that we consider of
                  larger importance (for example, the determination of
                  the phase transition point, the correlation
                  functions, the window overlaps, and the dynamical
                  behavior of the system).},

  ABSTRACT = {In this article we review the framework for
                  spontaneous replica symmetry breaking. Subsequently
                  that is applied to the example of the statistical
                  mechanical description of the storage properties of
                  a McCulloch¯ Pitts neuron, i.e., simple
                  perceptron. It is shown that in the neuron problem,
                  the general formula that is at the core of all
                  problems admitting Parisi's replica symmetry
                  breaking ansatz with a one-component order parameter
                  appears. The details of Parisi's method are reviewed
                  extensively, with regard to the wide range of
                  systems where the method may be applied. Parisi's
                  partial differential equation and related
                  differential equations are discussed, and the Green
                  function technique is introduced for the calculation
                  of replica averages, the key to determining the
                  averages of physical quantities. The Green function
                  of the Fokker¯Planck equation due to Sompolinsky
                  turns out to play the role of the statistical
                  mechanical Green function in the graph rules for
                  replica correlators. The subsequently obtained graph
                  rules involve only tree graphs, as appropriate for a
                  mean-field-like model. The lowest order
                  Ward¯Takahashi identity is recovered analytically
                  and shown to lead to the Goldstone modes in
                  continuous replica symmetry breaking phases. The
                  need for a replica symmetry breaking theory in the
                  storage problem of the neuron has arisen due to the
                  thermodynamical instability of formerly given
                  solutions. Variational forms for the neuron's free
                  energy are derived in terms of the order parameter
                  function x(q), for different prior distribution of
                  synapses. Analytically in the high temperature limit
                  and numerically in generic cases various phases are
                  identified, among them is one similar to the Parisi
                  phase in long-range interaction spin
                  glasses. Extensive quantities like the error per
                  pattern change slightly with respect to the known
                  unstable solutions, but there is a significant
                  difference in the distribution of non-extensive
                  quantities like the synaptic overlaps and the
                  pattern storage stability parameter. A simulation
                  result is also reviewed and compared with the
                  prediction of the theory.},

  ABSTRACT = {In the present Ph.D. dissertation I present results
                  concerning disordered and frustrated models of
                  relevance in statistical mechanics and in
                  combinatorial optimization. As an application of
                  spin glass theory I study the disordered and
                  frustrated Blume-Emery-Griffiths model. The model is
                  treated in its mean-field approximation using
                  replicas. Within the Ansatz of replica-symmetry, I
                  present a complete numerical solution; I also
                  discuss effects of replica symmetry breaking. The
                  stability of the RS solution is studied and the
                  regions of instability inferred. The phase diagram
                  exhibits first and second order transitions. The
                  tricritical point is still present in the frustrated
                  model, in agreement with former work. A version of
                  the BEG model with disordered chemical potential is
                  also studied. The calculations confirm that the
                  disorder decreases the tricritical
                  temperature. Next, I consider the graph partitioning
                  problem, a combinatorial optimization problem,
                  which, from the point of view of statistical
                  mechanics is a spin glass model with the constraint
                  of zero magnetisation. I focus on the statistical
                  properties of low energy solutions generated by
                  "heuristic" algorithms designed to solve such hard
                  combinatorial optimization problems. Several
                  heuristics proposed to solve this problem were
                  implemented. Scaling laws are obtained; in
                  particular, the average cost and its variance grow
                  linearly with the number of vertices of the
                  graphs. As a consequence the cost found by the
                  heuristics is self-averaging. I suggest that this
                  property is quite general, valid for random
                  solutions, quasi-optimal solutions, and probably for
                  the optimum solutions, too. Furthermore a ranking
                  method is proposed and illustrated on an ensemble of
                  graph partitioning problems. This ranking procedure
                  takes into account the quality of the solution as
                  well as the time necessary to find that solution. In
                  the third part of this dissertation I study in
                  detail the zero-temperatures properties of spin
                  glasses on sparse random graphs with fixed
                  connectivity. Spin glasses on these graphs may be
                  considered as a more realistic approximation to real
                  spin glasses as represented by the model of
                  Sherrington and Kirkpatrick. I have designed a new
                  algorithm for finding low energy states. Second, I
                  present a method for deriving the ground state
                  energy from heuristic algorithms, even though they
                  are not guaranteed to find the optimum. Third, I
                  present a numerical test of a conjecture due to
                  Banavar, Sherrington and Sourlas, giving the large
                  volume energy density of the ground states as
                  function of the connectivity. The distribution of
                  the order parameter is found to be non-trivial, and
                  I give evidence for the presence of ultrametricity
                  for all values of the connectivity. These results
                  confirm the expectation that the remarquable
                  properties of the infinite range
                  Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model carry over to more
                  realistic models, as for example the spin glass
                  model on random graphs with finite connectivity
                  studied in the present work. }
