Abstract

The ground state entropy of the 2D Ising spin glass with +1 and −1 bonds is studied for L×M square lattices with LM and p=0.5, where p is the fraction of negative bonds, using periodic and/or antiperiodic boundary conditions. From this we obtain the domain wall entropy as a function of L and M. It is found that for domain walls which run in the short, L direction, there are finite-size scaling functions which depend on the ratio \(M/L^{d_{S}}\) , where d S =1.22±0.01. When M is larger than L, very different scaling forms are found for odd L and even L. For the zero-energy domain walls, which occur when L is even, the probability distribution of domain wall entropy becomes highly singular, and apparently multifractal, as \(M/L^{d_{S}}\) becomes large.
