Abstract
In this paper I will briefly review some theoretical results that have been obtained in recent years for spin glasses and fragile glasses. I will concentrate my attention on the predictions coming from the so called broken replica symmetry approach and on their experimental verifications. I will also mention the relevance or these results for other fields, and in general for complex systems.This publication has 75 references indexed in Scilit:
