description

Abstract We use Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the dynamic properties of the ten-state infinite-range Potts glass. By analyzing the spin autocorrelation function for system sizes up to N = 2560, we show that strong finite size effects are present around the predicted dynamic transition temperature. The autocorrelation function shows strong self-averaging at high temperatures, whereas close to the dynamic transition shows lack of self-averaging.
