Abstract

We review the predictions of the replica approach both for the statics and for the off-equilibrium dynamics. We stress the importance of the Cugliandolo-Kurchan off-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relation in providing a bridge between the statics and the dynamics. We present numerical evidence for the correctness of these relations. This approach allows an experimental determination of the basic parameters of the replica theory.
