We continue the study of the free energy of quantum lattice spin systems where to the local Hamiltonian $H$ an arbitrary mean field term is added, a polynomial function of the arithmetic mean of some local observables $X$ and $Y$ that do…
Free energy and entropy are examined in detail from the standpoint of classical thermodynamics. The approach is logically based on the fact that thermodynamic work is mediated by thermal energy through the tendency for nonthermal energy to…
The Parisi formula for the free energy of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model is completed to a closed-form generating functional. We first find an integral representation for a solution of the Parisi differential equation and represent the…
We propose a method of free energy calculation for a system of interacting particles arranged in a Bravais lattice. It will be shown how to treat divergences for infinite unbounded systems with "catastrophic" potetntials like Coulomb and…
By using a formal analogy between statistical mechanics of mean field spin systems and analytical mechanics of viscous liquids -at first pointed out by Francesco Guerra, then recently developed by the authors- we give the thermodynamic…
We prove reversed Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities by carefully studying the natural associated free energies with direct methods of calculus of variations. Tightness is obtained by a dyadic argument, which quantifies the relative…
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…
In this paper, we investigate the finite connectivity spin-glass problem. Our work is focused on the expansion around the point of infinite connectivity of the free energy of a spin glass on a graph with Poissonian distributed connectivity:…
We prove the convergence in distribution of the fluctuations of the free energy of the mixed $p$-spin Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with non-vanishing $2$-spin component at high enough temperature. The limit is Gaussian, and the…
We propose a new method to compute the configurational entropy of glassy systems as a function of the free energy of valleys at a given temperature, in the framework of the Stillinger and Weber approach. In this method, which we call…
We present an alternate solution of a Gaussian spin-glass model with infinite ranged interactions and a global spherical constraint at zero magnetic field. The replicated spin-glass Hamiltonian is mapped onto a Coulomb gas of…
The equilibrium conditions of a system consisting of a box with gas divided by a piston are revised. The apparent indetermination of the problem is solved by explicitly imposing the constancy of the internal energy when the Entropy Maximum…
We obtain the analogue of the Crisanti-Sommers variational formula for spherical spin glasses with vector spins. This formula is derived from the discrete Parisi variational formula for the limit of the free energy of constrained copies of…
We present two rigorous results on the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field model for spin glasses, proven by elementary methods, based on properties of fluctuations, with respect to the external quenched noise, of the thermodynamic variables…
We study the high-dimensional limit of the free energy associated with the inference problem of a rank-one nonsymmetric matrix. The matrix is expressed as the outer product of two vectors, not necessarily independent. The distributions of…
We observe numerically the properties of the infinite-temperature inherent structures of m-component vector spin glasses in three dimensions. An increase of m implies a decrease of the amount of minima of the free energy, down to the…
In this paper, a simple case of Bayesian mechanics under the free energy principle is formulated in axiomatic terms. We argue that any dynamical system with constraints on its dynamics necessarily looks as though it is performing inference…
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 $0<\alpha<1$, $\alpha=1$,…
We examined energy spectrums of some particular systems of binary spins. It is shown that the configuration space can be divided into classes, and in the limit the energy distributions in these classes can be approximated by the normal…
We introduce a Random Energy Model on a hierarchical lattice where the interaction strength between variables is a decreasing function of their mutual hierarchical distance, making it a non-mean field model. Through small coupling series…
