dc.descriptionThe statistics of low energy states of the 2D Ising spin glass with +1 and -1 bonds are studied for $L \times L$ square lattices with $L \le 48$, and $p$ = 0.5, where $p$ is the fraction of negative bonds, using periodic and/or antiperiodic boundary conditions. The behavior of the density of states near the ground state energy is analyzed as a function of $L$, in order to obtain the low temperature behavior of the model. For large finite $L$ there is a range of $T$ in which the heat capacity is proportional to $T^{5.33 \pm 0.12}$. The range of $T$ in which this behavior occurs scales slowly to $T = 0$ as $L$ increases. Similar results are found for $p$ = 0.25. Our results indicate that this model probably obeys the ordinary hyperscaling relation $d ν= 2 - α$, even though $T_c = 0$. The existence of the subextensive behavior is attributed to long-range correlations between zero-energy domain walls, and evidence of such correlations is presented.
