books.google.com - In the eighties, a group of theoretical physicists introduced several models for certain disordered systems, called "spin glasses". These models are simple and rather canonical random structures, that physicists studied by non-rigorous methods. They predicted spectacular behaviors, previously unknown...http://books.google.com/books/about/Spin_Glasses_A_Challenge_for_Mathematici.html?id=Ej0VrZLsgMsC&utm_source=gb-gplus-shareSpin Glasses: A Challenge for Mathematicians
