“…Such SUSYs, which mix physical and Grassmann fields, look surprising in a statistical mechanical context; yet, as other symmetries in physics, they turn out to be a powerful tool to study a variety of problems. These range from the dy-* vivien.lecomte@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr namics of spin glasses [14,15], disordered spin models [16], or heteropolymers [17], to finite-size effects in critical dynamics [18], localization [19], renormalization of the random-field Ising model [20][21][22], symmetries of Hamiltonian dynamics [23,24], and metastability in overdamped [25] and inertial [26] Langevin dynamics, with Witten's SUSY version of Morse theory [27]. SUSYs have methodological implications for renormalization [28] and the derivation of variational principles [29] or of the Parisi-Wu stochastic quantization [30][31][32].…”
