The Potts spin glass is an analogue of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model in which each spin can take one of $\kappa$ possible values, which we interpret as colors. It was suggested in arXiv:2310.06745 that the order parameter for this model…

Parisi's formula is a self-contained description of the infinite-volume limit of the free energy of mean-field spin glass models. We show that this quantity can be recast as the solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the Wasserstein…

The recent proof by F. Guerra that the Parisi ansatz provides a lower bound on the free energy of the SK spin-glass model could have been taken as offering some support to the validity of the purported solution. In this work we present a…

We prove that the Parisi measure of the mixed p-spin model at zero temperature has infinitely many points in its support. This establishes Parisi's prediction that the functional order parameter of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model is not a…

We argue that when the number of spins $N$ in the SK model is finite, the Parisi scheme can be terminated after $K$ replica-symmetry breaking steps, where $K(N) \propto N^{1/6}$. We have checked this idea by Monte Carlo simulations: we…
