We study the high-dimensional limit of the free energy associated with the inference problem of finite-rank matrix tensor products. In general, we bound the limit from above by the unique solution to a certain Hamilton-Jacobi equation.…
In this paper, an extension of the random field Ginzburg-Landau model on the hypercubic lattice is considered by adding $p$-spin ($p\geqslant 2$) interactions coupled to general disorders. This new model is called the random field…
In this paper we consider a system of spins that consists of two configurations $\vsi^1,\vsi^2\in\Sigma_N=\{-1,+1\}^N$ with Gaussian Hamiltonians $H_N^1(\vsi^1)$ and $H_N^2(\vsi^2)$ correspondingly, and these configurations are coupled on…
The p-spin spin-glass model has been studied extensively at mean-field level because of the insights which it provides into the mode-coupling approach to structural glasses and the nature of the glass transition. We demonstrate explicitly…
In this paper we expose the results of our recent work on the dynamical TAP approach to mean field glassy systems. Our aim is to clarify the connection between free energy landscape and out of equilibrium dynamics in solvable models.…
In this work we want to enhance the calculation performed by Franz, Parisi and Virasoro (FPV) to estimate the free energy cost of interfaces in spin glasses and evaluate the lower critical dimension at which replica symmetry is restored. In…
We introduce a hierarchical class of approximations of the random Ising spin glass in $d$ dimensions. The attention is focused on finite clusters of spins where the action of the rest of the system is properly taken into account. At the…
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…
We consider a random Hamiltonian $H:\Sigma\to\mathbb R$ defined on a compact space $\Sigma$ that admits a transitive action by a compact group $\mathcal G$. When the law of $H$ is $\mathcal G$-invariant, we show its expected free energy…
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…
G.Parisi predicted an important variational formula for the thermodynamic limit of the intensive free energy for a class of mean field spin glasses. In this paper, we present an elementary approach to the study of the Parisi functional…
This is a short review about recent methods and results, mostly for mean field spin glasses, based on interpolation and comparison schemes. In particular, the Parisi spontaneous replica symmetry breaking phenomenon is described in the frame…
The richness of the mean-field solution of simple glasses leaves many of its features challenging to interpret. A minimal model that illuminates glass physics the same way the random energy model clarifies spin glass behavior would…
The Ising spin - S model on recursive p - polygonal structures in the external magnetic field is considered and the general form of the free energy and magnetization for arbitrary spin is derived. The exact relation between the free…
We compute the complexity (logarithm of the number of TAP states) associated with minima and index-one saddle points of the TAP free energy. Higher-index saddles have smaller complexities. The two leading complexities are equal, consistent…
The free energy of TAP-solutions for the SK-model of mean field spin glasses can be expressed as a nonlinear functional of local terms: we exploit this feature in order to contrive abstract REM-like models which we then solve by a classical…
We consider vector spin glass models with self-overlap correction. Since the limit of free energy is an infimum, we use arguments analogous to those for generic models to show the following: 1) the averaged self-overlap converges; 2) the…
We present a critical analysis of the Sompolinsky theory of equilibrium dynamics. By using the spherical $2+p$ spin glass model we test the asymptotic static limit of the Sompolinsky solution showing that it fails to yield a…
We provide a strategy to find in few elementary calculations the critical exponents of the overlaps for dilute spin glasses, in absence of external field. Such a strategy is based on the expansion of a suitably perturbed average of the…
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…
