Abstract
The replica-symmetry-breaking (RSB) solution of the infinite-range Ising spin glass in the presence of a transverse field is obtained. The quenched free energy and the phase boundary of the glass transition temperature versus the transverse field are calculated at first-step RSB without using the static approximation. We demonstrate that replica symmetry (RS) has to be broken in the spin-glass phase by comparing the free energies of the RSB and RS solutions. No evidence is found to support an intermediate spin-glass phase with replica symmetry.Keywords
