We argue that when the number of spins $N$ in the SK model is finite, the Parisi scheme can be terminated after $K$ replica-symmetry breaking steps, where $K(N) \propto N^{1/6}$. We have checked this idea by Monte Carlo simulations: we…

The Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass model is investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations employing a combination of the multi-overlap algorithm with parallel tempering methods. We investigate the finite-size scaling behaviour of the…

We prove disorder universality of chaos phenomena and ultrametricity in the mixed p-spin model under mild moment assumptions on the environment. This establishes the long-standing belief among physicists that the Parisi solution in…

The Parisi formula for the free energy is among the crown jewels in the theory of spin glasses. We present a simpler proof of the lower bound in the case of the spherical mean-field model. Our method follows the TAP approach developed…

We discuss the mean-field theory of spin-glass models with frustrated long-range random spin exchange. We analyze the reasons for breakdown of the simple mean-field theory of Sherrington and Kirkpatrick. We relate the replica-symmetry…

In this paper we prove that the support of a random measure on the unit ball of a separable Hilbert space that satisfies the Ghirlanda-Guerra identities must be ultrametric with probability one. This implies the Parisi ultrametricity…

In this paper a multi-scale version of the Sherrington and Kirkpatrick model is introduced and studied. The pressure per particle in the thermodynamical limit is proved to obey a variational principle of Parisi type. The result is achieved…

Parisi's formula is a self-contained description of the infinite-volume limit of the free energy of mean-field spin glass models. We show that this quantity can be recast as the solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the Wasserstein…

In order to study certain questions concerning the distribution of the overlap in Sherrington--Kirkpatrick type models, such as the chaos and ultrametricity problems, it seems natural to study the free energy of multiple systems with…

We consider mean-field vector spin glasses with self-overlap correction. The limit of free energy is known to be the Parisi formula, which is an infimum over matrix-valued paths. We decompose such a path into a Lipschitz matrix-valued path…

We prove that, in mixed $p$-spin models of spin glasses, the location of the ground state is chaotic under small Gaussian perturbations. For the case of even $p$-spin models, this was shown by Chen, Handschy and Lerman [2018]. We rely on a…
