Abstract

In this short note, we consider models of optimal Bayesian inference of finite-rank tensor products. We add to the model a linear channel parametrized by hh. We show that at every interior differentiable point hh of the free energy (associated with the model), the overlap concentrates at the gradient of the free energy and the minimum mean-square error converges to a related limit. In other words, the model is replica-symmetric at every differentiable point. At any signal-to-noise ratio, such points hh form a full-measure set (hence h=0h=0 belongs to the closure of these points). For a sufficiently low signal-to-noise ratio, we show that every interior point is a differentiable point.
