We study the Potts spin glass model, which generalizes the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model to the case when spins take more than two values but their interactions are counted only if the spins are equal. We obtain the analogue of the Parisi…

In this paper, we study the Crisanti-Sommers variational problem, which is a variational formula for the free energy of spherical mixed $p$-spin glasses. We begin by computing the dual of this problem using a min-max argument. We find that…

We study the free energy of mixed $p$-spin spin glass models enriched with an additional magnetic field given by the canonical Gaussian field associated with a Ruelle probability cascade. We prove that this free energy converges to the…

Recently, [DOI:10.1007/s10955-023-03135-1] considered spin glass models with additional conventional order parameters characterizing single-replica properties. These parameters are distinct from the standard order parameter, the overlap,…

The Potts spin glass is a generalization of the Sherrington--Kirkpatrick (SK) model that allows for spins to take more than two values. Based on a novel synchronization mechanism, Panchenko (2018) showed that the limiting free energy is…

We introduce a mean field spin glass model with gaussian distribuited spins and pairwise interactions, whose couplings are drawn randomly from a normal gaussian distribution too. We completely control the main thermodynamical properties of…

We consider the quantum Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) spin-glass model with transverse field and provide a formula for its free energy in the thermodynamic limit, valid for all inverse temperatures $\beta>0$. To characterize the free energy,…

We study the L\'evy spin glass model, a fully connected model on $N$ vertices with heavy-tailed interactions governed by a power law distribution of order $0<\alpha<2.$ Our investigation is divided into three cases $0<\alpha<1$, $\alpha=1$,…

The limit free energy of spin-glass models with convex interactions can be represented as a variational problem involving an explicit functional. Models with non-convex interactions are much less well-understood, and simple variational…
