Abstract

An expansion for the free energy functional of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model, around the Replica Symmetric SK solution Qab(RS)=δab+q(1δab)Q^{({\rm RS})}_{ab} = \delta_{ab} + q(1-\delta_{ab}) is investigated. In particular, when the expansion is truncated to fourth order in. QabQab(RS)Q_{ab} - Q^{({\rm RS})}_{ab}. The Full Replica Symmetry Broken (FRSB) solution is explicitly found but it turns out to exist only in the range of temperature 0.549...TTc=10.549...\leq T\leq T_c=1, not including T=0. On the other hand an expansion around the paramagnetic solution Qab(PM)=δabQ^{({\rm PM})}_{ab} = \delta_{ab} up to fourth order yields a FRSB solution that exists in a limited temperature range 0.915...TTc=10.915...\leq T \leq T_c=1.
