Abstract

After introducing and discussing the "link-overlap" between spin configurations we show that the Edwards-Anderson model has a "replica-equivalent" quenched equilibrium state, a property introduced by Parisi in the description of the mean-field spin-glass phase which generalizes ultrametricity. Our argument is based on the control of fluctuations through the property of stochastic stability and works for all the finite-dimensional spin-glass models.
