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…

Replica symmetry breaking postulates that near optima of spin glass Hamiltonians have an ultrametric structure. Namely, near optima can be associated to leaves of a tree, and the Euclidean distance between them corresponds to the distance…

The introduction of ``small permutations'' allows us to derive Ward-Takahashi identities for the spin-glass, in the Parisi limit of an infinite number of steps of replica symmetry breaking. The first identities express the emergence of a…
