A renormalization group transformation suitable for spin glasses, and more
generally for disordered systems, is prsented. The approach is non-standard
for two reasons. 1. The coarse graining transformation is performed on the
distribution of site overlaps, which clearly is not a. Boltzmann-Gibbs dis
tribution. 2. The additional interactions are realized introducing a gauge-
field disorder distribution, while the Hamiltonian is kept fixed. Universal
ity classes are thus naturally defined on a large set of models, going from
Zz and Gaussian spin glasses to Ising and fully frustrated models, and oth
ers. The role of frustration and of the deconfinement transition can also b
e analysed in terms of fixed points. The proposed analysis is tested numeri
cally on the Z(3) Edwards-Anderson model in d = 4. Good estimates of the cr
itical index nu and of T-c are obtained, and an RG flow diagram is sketched
for the first time.
