Abstract
A mapping is developed between the linearized equation of motion for the dynamics of the transverse modes at of the Heisenberg-Mattis model of one-dimensional (1D) spin glasses and the (discretized) random wave equation. The mapping is used to derive an exact expression for the Lyapunov exponent (LE) of the magnon modes of spin glasses and to show that it follows anomalous scaling at low magnon frequencies. In addition, through numerical simulations, the differences between the LE and the density of states of the wave equation in a discrete 1D model of randomly disordered media (those with a finite correlation length) and that of continuous media (with a zero correlation length) are demonstrated and emphasized.
