We develop a simple method to study the high temperature, or high external field, behavior of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass model. The basic idea is to couple two different replicas with a quadratic term, trying to push…
We study the phase transition of the free energy in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean-field spin glass model with centered Gaussian external field. We show that the corresponding Almeida-Thouless line is the correct transition curve that…
The sample-to-sample fluctuations of the free energy in finite-dimensional Ising spin glasses are calculated, using the replica method, from higher order terms in the replica number $n$. It is shown that the Parisi symmetry breaking scheme…
We propose a general scheme in which disordered systems are allowed to sacrifice energy equi-partitioning and separate into a hierarchy of ergodic sub-systems (clusters) with different characteristic time-scales and temperatures. The…

In an important recent paper, \cite{FL}, S. Franz and M. Leone prove rigorous lower bounds for the free energy of the diluted $p$-spin model and the $K$-sat model at any temperature. We show that the results for these two models are…
Mean-field spin glasses are families of random energy functions (Hamiltonians) on high-dimensional product spaces. In this paper we consider the case of Ising mixed $p$-spin models, namely Hamiltonians $H_N:\Sigma_N\to {\mathbb R}$ on the…
We prove universality of the Ghirlanda-Guerra identities and spin distributions in the mixed $p$-spin models. The assumption for the universality of the identities requires exactly that the coupling constants have zero means and finite…
We consider the free energy of a mean-field quantum spin glass described by a $ p $-spin interaction and a transversal magnetic field. Recent rigorous results for the case $ p= \infty $, i.e. the quantum random energy model (QREM), are…
20 years ago, Bovier, Kurkova, and L\"owe [5] proved a central limit theorem (CLT) for the fluctuations of the free energy in the p-spin version of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses at high temperatures. In this paper we…
In this paper, we show that the replica symmetry of the Gibbs measure of spherical spin systems is a property of the eigenvalue spacing at the edge of the interaction matrix. In particular, our interaction matrix has \textbf{two} large…
We compute the probability of positive large deviations of the free energy per spin in mean-field Spin-Glass models. The probability vanishes in the thermodynamic limit as $P(\Delta f) \propto \exp[-N^2 L_2(\Delta f)]$. For the…
Following an original idea of F. Guerra, in this notes we analyze the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model from different perspectives, all sharing the underlying approach which consists in linking the resolution of the statistical mechanics of…
Recently, Michel Talagrand computed the large deviations limit $\lim_{N\to\infty}(Na)^{-1}\log \e Z_N^a$ for the moments of the partition function $Z_N$ in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model for all real $a\geq 0.$ For $a\geq 1$ the limit is…
In two papers Franz, Leone and Toninelli proved bounds for the free energy of diluted random constraints satisfaction problems, for a Poisson degree distribution [5] and a general distribution [6]. Panchenko and Talagrand [16] simplified…

In this paper we develop the interpolating cavity field technique for the mean field ferromagnetic p-spin. The model we introduce is a natural extension of the diluted Curie-Weiss model to p>2 spin interactions. Several properties of the…
This note is an informal presentation of spin glasses and of the Parisi formula. We also discuss some models for which the Parisi formula is not well-understood, and some partial progress that relies upon a connection with partial…
The quenched computation of the complexity in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model is presented. A modified Full Replica Symmetry Breaking Ansatz is introduced in order to study the complexity dependence on the free energy. Such an Ansatz…
