We give a meaning to the Hamilton--Jacobi equation arising from mean-field spin glass models in the viscosity sense, and establish the corresponding well-posedness. Originally defined on the set of monotone probability measures, these…

Recently, [arXiv:2311.08980] demonstrated that, if it exists, the limit free energy of possibly non-convex spin glass models must be determined by a characteristic of the associated infinite-dimensional non-convex Hamilton-Jacobi equation.…

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…

We study mean-field spin glass models with general vector spins and convex covariance function. For those models, it is known that the limit of the free energy can be written as the supremum of a functional, this is the celebrated Parisi…

We consider the Hamiltonians of mean-field spin glasses, which are certain random functions $H_N$ defined on high-dimensional cubes or spheres in $\mathbb R^N$. The asymptotic maximum values of these functions were famously obtained by…

We study Hamilton-Jacobi equations in [0, +$\infty$) of evolution type with nonlinear boundary conditions of Neumann type in the case where the Hamiltonian is non necessarily convex with respect to the gradient variable. In this paper, we…

It is well known that when the nonlinearity is convex, the Hamilton-Jacobi PDE admits a unique semi-convex weak solution, which is the viscosity solution. In this paper, motivated by problems arising from spin glasses, we show that if the…

We study non-convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the presence of gradient constraints and produce new, optimal, regularity results for the solutions. A distinctive feature of those equations regards the existence of a lower bound to the…

In this paper we study a mean field control problem in which particles are absorbed when they reach the boundary of a smooth domain. The value of the N-particle problem is described by a hierarchy of Hamilton-Jacobi equations which are…

The paper is concerned with the deterministic limit of mean field games with the nonlocal coupling. It is assumed that the dynamics of mean field games are given by nonlinear Markov processes. This type of games includes stochastic mean…

We study the three-spin model and the Ising spin glass in a field using Migdal-Kadanoff approximation. The flows of the couplings and fields indicate no phase transition, but they show even for the three-spin model a slow crossover to the…

We present a conjecture on the exact location of the multicritical point in the phase diagram of spin glass models in finite dimensions. By generalizing our previous work, we combine duality and gauge symmetry for replicated random systems…
