On a nonhierarchical version of the generalized random energy model

Probability 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We introduce a natural nonhierarchical version of Derrida's generalized random energy model. We prove that, in the thermodynamical limit, the free energy is the same as that of a suitably constructed GREM.
