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…

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…

The free energy of any system can be written as the supremum of a functional involving an energy term and an entropy term. Surprisingly, the limit free energy of mean-field spin glasses is expressed as an infimum instead, a phenomenon…

Models of spin glasses are studied with a phase transition discontinuous in the Parisi order parameter. It is assumed that the leading order corrections to the thermodynamic limit of the high temperature free energy are due to the existence…

The Potts spin glass is a generalization of the Sherrington--Kirkpatrick (SK) model that allows for spins to take more than two values. Based on a novel synchronization mechanism, Panchenko (2018) showed that the limiting free energy is…

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…

The random energy model (REM) is the simplest spin glass model which exhibits replica symmetry breaking. It is well known since the 80's that its overlaps are non-selfaveraging and that their statistics satisfy the predictions of the…
