Abstract

In this paper we give another proof of the fact that a random overlap array, which satisfies the Ghirlanda-Guerra identities and whose elements take values in a finite set, is ultrametric with probability one. The new proof bypasses random change of density invariance principles for directing measures of such arrays and, in addition to the Dobvysh-Sudakov representation, is based only on elementary algebraic consequences of the Ghirlanda-Guerra identities.
