We numerically investigate temperature chaos in spin glasses, exploiting its recent characterization as a rare-event driven phenomenon. The peculiarities of the transformation from periodic to anti-periodic boundary conditions in spin glasses allow us to conclude that temperature chaos is non-local: no bounded region of the system causes it. We precisely show the statistical relationship between temperature chaos and the free-energy changes upon varying boundary conditions.2016http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/15201410.1088/1742-5468/2016/12/123301http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/152014oai:zaguan.unizar.es:152014info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2012-35719-C02info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2015-65078-C2-1-PJournal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment 2016, 12 (2016), 123301 [15 pp.]All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
