The free energy landscape of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrik (SK) Ising spin glass is simple in the framework of the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP) equations as each solution (which are minima of the free energy) has associated with it a nearby…
We study properties of the energy minima obtained by quenching equilibrium configurations of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) mean field spin glass. We measure the probability distribution of the overlap among quenched configurations and…
In the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field model for spin glasses, we show that the quenched average of the free energy can be expressed through a couple of functional order parameters, in a form very similar to the one found in the frame of…

We present an elementary approach to the order of fluctuations for the free energy in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass model at and near the critical temperature. It is proved that at the critical temperature the variance…
A mean field spherical model with random couplings between pairs, quartets, and possibly higher multiplets of spins is considered. It has the same critical behavior as the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. It thus exhibits replica symmetry…
The ground-state energy E_0 of a spin glass is an example of an extreme statistic. We consider the large deviations of this energy for a variety of models when the number of spins N goes to infinity. In most cases, the behavior can be…
The nature of the spin glass state is investigated by studying changes to the ground state when a weak perturbation is applied to the bulk of the system. We consider short range models in three and four dimensions and the infinite range…
