We show that the limiting ground state energy of the spherical mixed p-spin model can be identified as the infimum of certain variational problem. This complements the well-known Parisi formula for the limiting free energy in the spherical…
We show that the free energy in the mixed $p$-spin models of spin glasses does not superconcentrate in the presence of external field, which means that its variance is of the order suggested by the Poincar\'e inequality. This complements…
In this paper, we explore the stability of the energy landscape of an Ising Hamiltonian when subjected to two kinds of perturbations: a perturbation on the coupling coefficients and external fields, and a perturbation on the underlying…
We investigate the energy landscape of the spherical mixed even p-spin model near its maximum energy. We relate the distance between pairs of near maxima to the support of the Parisi measure at zero temperature. We then provide an algebraic…
We study the Ising pure $p$-spin model for large $p$. We investigate the landscape of the Hamiltonian of this model. We show that for any $\gamma>0$ and any large enough $p$, the model exhibits an intricate geometrical property known as the…
In [Physical Magazine, 35(3):593-601, 1977], Thouless, Anderson, and Palmer derived a representation for the free energy of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, called the TAP free energy, written as the difference of the energy and entropy…

Geometrically frustrated clusters of Ising spins of different shapes on a triangular lattice are studied by exact enumeration and Monte Carlo simulation. The focus is laid on the ground-state energy and residual entropy behaviors as…
We study a spin system on a large box with both Ising interaction and Sherrington-Kirpatrick couplings, in the presence of an external field. Our results are: (i) existence of the pressure in the limit of an infinite box. When both Ising…
We consider here the problem of a "giant spin", with spin quantum number S>>1, interacting with a set of microscopic spins. Interactions between the microscopic spins are ignored. This model describes the low-energy properties of magnetic…

We study the low temperature out of equilibrium Monte Carlo dynamics of the disordered Ising $p$-spin Model with $p=3$ and a small number of spin variables. We focus on sequences of configurations that are stable against single spin flips…
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 study ferromagnetic Ising models on finite graphs with an inhomogeneous external field, where a subset of vertices is designated as the boundary. We show that the influence of boundary conditions on any given spin is maximised when the…
