A Finite-temperature Phase Transition for the Ising Spin-glass in $d\geq 2$.

2021 
It is believed that the $\pm J$ Ising spin-glass does not order at finite temperatures in dimension $d=2$. However, using a graphical representation and a contour argument, we prove rigorously the existence of a finite-temperature phase transition in $d\geq 2$ with $T_c \geq 0.4$. In the graphical representation, the low-temperature phase allows for the coexistence of multiple infinite clusters each with a rigidly aligned spin-overlap state. These clusters correlate negatively with each other, and are entropically stable without breaking any global symmetry. They can emerge in most graph structures and disorder measures.
