The Parisi formula for the free energy in the spherical models with mixed even p-spin interactions was proven in Michel Talagrand [16]. In this paper we study the general mixed p-spin spherical models including p-spin interactions for odd…
Energy barriers determine the dynamics in many physical systems like structural glasses, disordered spin systems or proteins. Here we present an approach, which is based on subdividing the configuration space in a hierarchical manner,…
We prove upper and lower bounds on the free energy in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with multidimensional (e.g., Heisenberg) spins in terms of the variational inequalities based on the corresponding Parisi functional. We employ the…
The lack of an energy barrier in stabilizer Hamiltonians is well known to be an indication of short thermalisation times; and serves as a simple criteria to rule out self-correction. Its applicability has recently been challenged by the…
The relative importance of the contributions of droplet excitations and domain walls on the ordering of short-range Edwards-Anderson spin glasses in three and four dimensions is studied. We compare the overlap distributions of periodic and…
To establish a unified framework for studying both discrete and continuous coupling distributions, we introduce the {\it binomial} spin glass, a class of models where the couplings are sums of $m$ identically distributed Bernoulli random…
Renormalizability of a lattice chiral fermion is studied at one loop level in the overlap formulation in four dimensions. The fermion chirality is examined including the self-energy corrections due to gauge interactions. Divergent terms…
The limit free energy of an enriched mixed $p$-spin spin glass model has been identified with the solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation. In this note, we remark that the Aizenman-Sims-Starr scheme yields a subsolution to the equation.
We prove a volume-uniform effective-Hamiltonian theorem for bounded finite-range quantum spin systems on possibly infinite lattices. For any finite target region, we construct an energy-truncated Hamiltonian and prove a volume-uniform…
The overlap distribution of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model on the Nishimori line has been proved to be self averaging for large volumes. Here we study the joint distribution of the rescaled overlaps around their common mean and prove…
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…
The universal finite-size correction to the free energy of a two-dimensional Coulomb system is checked in the special case of a one-component plasma on a sphere. The correction is related to the known second moment of the short-range part…
We study the L\'evy spin glass model, a fully connected model on $N$ vertices with heavy-tailed interactions governed by a power law distribution of order $0<\alpha<2.$ Our investigation is divided into three cases $0<\alpha<1$, $\alpha=1$,…
The overlap formulation is applied to calculate the chiral determinant on a two-dimensional torus with twisted boundary conditions. We evaluate first the continuum overlap, which is convergent and well-defined, and yields the correct string…
In this paper we provide an action related to a certain sector of general relativity where the algebra of Hamiltonian constraints forms a first class system. This action is a Dirac-consistent stand-alone action with two physical degrees of…
We investigate overlap fluctuations of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass model in the framework of the Random Over- lap Structure (ROSt). The concept of ROSt has been introduced recently by Aizenman and coworkers, who…
The paper considers the generalized Ising model in the $2\times2\times\infty$ strip with a Hamiltonian invariant with respect to the central axis of rotation through the angle $\pi/2$, which includes all possible multiplicative interactions…
It is known that a near-extremal Kerr black hole can be spun up beyond its extremal limit by capturing a test particle. Here we show that overspinning is always averted once back-reaction from the particle's own gravity is properly taken…
We prove that the two cornerstones of mean-field spin glass theory -- the Parisi variational formula and the ultrametric organization of pure states -- break down under heavy-tailed disorder. For the mixed spherical $p$-spin model whose…
Following an original idea of F. Guerra, in this notes we analyze the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model from different perspectives, all sharing the underlying approach which consists in linking the resolution of the statistical mechanics of…
