Do bipartite spin glasses have simple relaxation dynamics? I am interested in the mixing or relaxation time. |

Many body quantum states analyzed as probabilistic sequences Maybe I'm missing something (I'm about to go to sleep). You take the spin-spin correlation functions and build (say) whatever order transition matrix you like, no? |

What are some critiques of Jaynes' approach to statistical mechanics? I am actually a fan of Jaynes' approach to statistical physics, and hold the man's work in high esteem. But I am much less enamored of the whole probability theory catfight (I would like to understand it better). |

What are some critiques of Jaynes' approach to statistical mechanics? Relevant Jaynes quote 2: "Recalling that ergodic theorems, or hypotheses, had been actively discussed by other writers for over thirty years [prior to the publication in 1903 of Gibbs’ Statistical Mechanics], and recalling Gibbs’ extremely meticulous attention to detail, I think the only possible conclusion we can draw is that Gibbs simply did not consider ergodicity as relevant to the foundations of the subject. Of course, he was far too polite a man to say so openly." |

What are some critiques of Jaynes' approach to statistical mechanics? Relevant Jaynes quote 1: "We are not puzzled by 'irreversibility' because (one of those important results which has been in our equations for over a Century, but is still invisible to some), given the present macrostate, the overwhelming majority of all possible microstates lead, via just those evil, deterministic mechanical equations of motion, to the same macroscopic behavior; just the reproducible behavior that we observe in the laboratory. So what else is there to explain? There would be a major mystery to be explained if this behavior were not observed." |
