By performing a perturbative expansion in topological loops around a random regular graph, this framework provides a unified tool to analytically compute correlation functions and critical exponents. This presentation motivates the need for this approach, discussing the limitations of standard field theories in disordered systems, and thoroughly introduces the foundational concepts of the method. A brief recap of the main results is then given [3,4], including its application to the zero-temperature spin glass in a magnetic field, where it provides new analytical insights below the upper critical dimension [5]. The conclusion includes the connections of this approach to concepts in graph theory, such as graph M-coverings, offering a powerful alternative to standard Renormalization Group techniques. 1.

Nous introduisons une version hiérarchique pour laquelle la distribution des traversées gauche–droite satisfait une récurrence exacte. En dimension d\geq 3, nous démontrons rigoureusement un transport normal : la conductance moyenne se comporte comme (\text{section transverse})/(\text{longueur}) à toutes les échelles de longueur. Une hypothèse de fermeture gaussienne, étayée par les simulations numériques, prédit que le rapport variance/moyenne de la conductance converge vers la valeur universelle 2/3 pour tout d\geq 2 —ce que nous appelons la « loi des 2/3 ». Nous fournissons des preuves numériques de cette loi des 2/3 dans le modèle original, non hiérarchique, des miroirs de Lorentz en dimension d=3, et conjecturons qu’il s’agit d’une signature universelle du transport normal induit par un appariement aléatoire des courants. Il s’agit d’une collaboration avec Hal Tasaki (Gakushuin University). {{page>.:info}} \\ ==== Previous talks ==== \\ === Year 2026 === {{page>.:seminairemod2026}} \\ === Year 2025 === {{page>.:seminairemod2025}} \\ === Year 2024 === {{page>.:seminairemod2024}} \\ === Year 2023 === {{page>.:seminairemod2023}} \\ === Year 2022 === {{page>.:seminairemod2022}}
