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…
We identify a special class of multi-species spin glass models: ones in which the species proportions serve to ''balance'' out the interaction strengths. For this class, we prove a free energy lower bound that does not require any convexity…
We consider the free energy difference restricted to a finite volume for certain pairs of incongruent thermodynamic states (if they exist) in the Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass at nonzero temperature. We prove that the variance of this…
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…
The distribution of the performed work for spin glasses with gauge symmetry is considered. With the aid of the gauge symmetry, which leads to the exact/rigorous results in spin glasses, we find a fascinating relation of the performed work…
In this paper we review some recent rigorous results that provide an essentially complete solution of a class of spin glass models introduced by Derrida in the 1980ies. These models are based on Gaussian random processes on $\{-1,1\}^N$…
We study the free energy of mean-field multi-species spin glasses with convex covariance function. For such models with $D$ species, the Parisi formula is known to be valid, and expresses the limit free energy as a supremum over monotone…
We study the applications of non-equilibrium relations such as the Jarzynski equality and fluctuation theorem to spin glasses with gauge symmetry. It is shown that the exponentiated free-energy difference appearing in the Jarzynski equality…
We investigate thermodynamics of a single classical particle placed in a spherical box of a finite radius $R$ and subject to a superposition of a $N-$dimensional Gaussian random potential and the parabolic potential with the curvature…
Spin glasses are models of statistical mechanics in which a large number of simple elements interact with one another in a disordered fashion. One of the fundamental results of the theory is the Parisi formula, which identifies the limit of…
We study the free energy of a mean-field spin glass whose coupling distribution has power law tails. Under the assumption that the couplings have infinite variance and finite mean, we show that the thermodynamic limit of the quenched free…
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…
To study the reflecting diffusion processes on manifolds with boundary, some new curvature operators are introduced by using the Bakry-Emery curvature and the second fundamental form. As applications, the gradient estimates, log-Harnack…
In this paper, we propose a generalization of Bakry-\'Emery's calculus which allows us to formulate both Bakry-\'Emery and entropic curvature simultaneously. This formulation represents both curvatures as an integral of the Bochner formula…
We consider the spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of spin glass with sparse interaction, where the interactions between most of the pairs of the spin variables are possibly zero. With suitable normalization, we prove that the limiting…
This paper constitutes the second part of a two-paper series devoted to the systematic study of vector spin glass models whose energy function involves a spin glass part and a general Mattis interaction part. In this paper, we focus on…
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 $\Gamma$-convergence of a class of elastica-type energies defined on immersed planar curves and depending on a small positive parameter $\epsilon$. As $\epsilon\to 0^+$, sequences with equibounded energy develop concentration…
We propose a simpler approach to identifying the limit of free energy in a vector spin glass model by adding a self-overlap correction to the Hamiltonian. This avoids constraining the self-overlap and allows us to identify the limit with…
