On statistical mechanics of a single particle in high-dimensional random landscapes
Abstract
Description
We discuss recent results of the replica approach to statistical mechanics of a single classical particle placed in a random N(>>1)-dimensional Gaussian landscape. The particular attention is paid to the case of landscapes with logarithmically growing correlations and to its recent generalisations. Those landscapes give rise to a rich multifractal spatial structure of the associated Boltzmann-Gibbs measure. We also briefly mention related results on counting stationary points of random Gaussian surfaces, as well as ongoing research on statistical mechanics in a random landscape constructed locally by adding many squared Gaussian-distributed terms.
