Ultrametricity and hierarchical clustering for Ising spin glasses — •Alexander K. Hartmann1 and Helmut G. Katzgraber21Institut of Physics, University of Oldenburg, Germany — 2Department of Physics & Astronomy, Texas A&M University, USA

We present results from computer simulations [1], in particular Monte Carlo simulations using the parallel tempering approach, to test for ultrametricity [2] and clustering properties [3] in spin-glass models. We use a one-dimensional Ising spin glass with random power-law interactions where the universality class of the model can be tuned by changing the power-law exponent. We find [4] signatures of ultrametric behavior both in the mean-field and non-mean-field universality classes for large linear system sizes. Furthermore, we confirm the existence of nontrivial connected components in phase space via a clustering analysis of configurations.
