Abstract
The antiferromagnetic Ising model in uncorrelated scale-free networks has been studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. These networks are characterized by a connectivity (or degree) distribution P(k) ∼k-γ. The disorder present in these complex networks frustrates the antiferromagnetic spin ordering, giving rise to a spin-glass (SG) phase at low temperature. The paramagnetic-SG transition temperature Tc has been studied as a function of the parameter γ and the minimum degree present in the networks. Tc is found to increase when the exponent γ is reduced, in line with a larger frustration caused by the presence of nodes with higher degree.
