Abstract

We prove that, in mixed pp-spin models of spin glasses, the location of the ground state is chaotic under small Gaussian perturbations. For the case of even pp-spin models, this was shown by Chen, Handschy and Lerman [2018]. We rely on a different approach which only uses the Parisi formula as a black box.
