Quantum spherical spin-glass with random short-range interactions

In the present paper we analyze the critical properties of a quantum spherical spin glass model with short range, random interactions. Since the model allows for rigorous detailed calculations, we can show how the effective partition function calculated with help of the replica method for the spin glass fluctuating fields separates into a mean field contribution for the replica diagonal fields and a strictly short range partition function for the replica off-diagonal fields. The mean field part coincides with previous results. The short range part describes a phase transition in a Q^3-field theory, where the fluctuating fields depend on a space variable and two independent time variables.This we analyze using the renormalization group with dimensional regularization and minimal subtraction of dimensional poles. By generalizing standard field theory methods to our particular situation, we can identify the critical dimensionality as d_c = 5 at very low temperatures due to the dimensionality shift D_c = d_c + 1. we then perform a \epsilon' expansion to order one loop to calculate the critical exponents by solving the renormalization group equations.
