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 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…
The core idea of stochastic stability is that thermodynamic observables must be robust under small (random) perturbations of the quenched Gibbs measure. Combining this idea with the cavity field technique, which aims to measure the free…

We calculate the naive defect energy $\Delta E$ of Ising spin glass(SG) models in two dimensions using conjugate boundary conditions. We predict that, in the $\pm J$ model, the averaged value $\bar{\Delta E}$ converges to some non-zero…

The structure of states of the perturbed p-spin spherical spin-glass is analyzed. At low enough free energy metastable states have a supersymmetric structure, while at higher free energies the supersymmetry is broken. The transition between…
20 years ago, Bovier, Kurkova, and L\"owe [5] proved a central limit theorem (CLT) for the fluctuations of the free energy in the p-spin version of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses at high temperatures. In this paper we…
We consider mean-field vector spin glasses with self-overlap correction. The limit of free energy is known to be the Parisi formula, which is an infimum over matrix-valued paths. We decompose such a path into a Lipschitz matrix-valued path…
We study numerically the structure of metastable states in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass. We find that all non-paramagnetic stationary points of the free energy are organized into pairs, consisting in a minimum and a saddle of…
In this paper we study the bipartite version of Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. We prove that the free energy density is given by an analogue of the Parisi formula, that contains both the usual overlap and an additional new type of overlap.…
In order to overcome the limitations of small system sizes in spin-glass simulations, we investigate the one-dimensional Ising spin chain with power-law interactions. The model has the advantage over traditional higher-dimensional…
We study the equilibrium glassy behavior of a multimode random laser model with nonlinear four-body quenched disordered interactions and a global smoothed-cubic constraint on mode intensities. This constraint, which provides a more…
We first study a free particle on an $(n-1)$-sphere in an extended phase space, where the originally second-class Hamiltonian and constraints are now in strong involution. This allows for a Schr\"odinger representation and a Hamilton-Jacobi…
We propose a new method for exact analytical calculation of the ground-state energy of the Ising spin glass on strips. An outstanding advantage of this method over the numerical transfer matrix technique is that the energy is obtained for…
