Uniqueness of Replica-symmetric Saddle Point for Ising Perceptron
Abstract
We study the replica-symmetric saddle point equations for the Ising perceptron with Gaussian disorder and margin . We prove that for each there is a critical capacity , where is a standard normal and , such that the saddle point equation has a unique solution for and has no solution when . When and , the replica-symmetric free energy at this solution diverges to . In the zero-margin case , Ding and Sun obtained a conditional uniqueness result, with one step verified numerically. Our argument gives a fully analytic proof without computer assistance. We used GPT-5 to help develop intermediate proof steps and to perform sanity-check computations.
