Abstract

The continuous random energy model (CREM) was introduced by Bovier and Kurkova in 2004 which can be viewed as a generalization of Derrida's generalized random energy model. Among other things, their work indicates that there exists a critical point βc\beta_c such that the partition function exhibits a phase transition. The present work focuses on the high temperature regime where β<βc\beta<\beta_c. We show that for all β<βc\beta<\beta_c and for all s>0s>0, the negative ss moment of the CREM partition function is comparable with the expectation of the CREM partition function to the power of s-s, up to constants that are independent of NN.
