    Abstract

    At zero temperature, two-dimensional Ising spin glasses are known to fall into several universality classes. Here we consider the scaling at low but nonzero temperatures and provide numerical evidence that eta approximately equal 0 and nu approximately equal 3.5 in all cases, suggesting a unique universality class. This algebraic (as opposed to exponential) scaling holds, in particular, for the +/- J model, with or without dilutions, and for the plaquette diluted model. Such a picture, associated with an exceptional behavior at T = 0, is consistent with a real space renormalization group approach. We also explain how the scaling of the specific heat is compatible with the hyperscaling prediction.
