In the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field model for spin glasses, we show that the quenched average of the free energy can be expressed through a couple of functional order parameters, in a form very similar to the one found in the frame of…

This note is an informal presentation of spin glasses and of the Parisi formula. We also discuss some models for which the Parisi formula is not well-understood, and some partial progress that relies upon a connection with partial…
We describe the large deviations above its typical value of the maximal energy of a spin glass with +/-1 spins. Thanks to the relatively explicit description of the rate function we identify, we then show that the latter is asymptotically…
We study the Parisi functional, appearing in the Parisi formula for the pressure of the SK model, as a functional on Ruelle's Probability Cascades (RPC). Computation techniques for the RPC formulation of the functional are developed. They…
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…
We construct a N-dimensional Gaussian landscape with multiscale, translation invariant, logarithmic correlations and investigate the statistical mechanics of a single particle in this environment. In the limit of high dimension N>>1 the…
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…
We show that the free energy in the mixed $p$-spin models of spin glasses does not superconcentrate in the presence of external field, which means that its variance is of the order suggested by the Poincar\'e inequality. This complements…
The static free energy of glassy systems can be expressed in terms of the Parisi order parameter function. When this function has a discontinuity, the location of the step is determined by maximizing the free energy. In dynamics a…
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…
In [arXiv:2311.08980], it was shown that if the limit of the free energy in a non-convex vector spin glass model exists, it must be a critical value of a certain functional. In this work, we extend this result to multi-species spin glass…
We consider the mixed $p$-spin mean-field spin glass model with Ising spins and investigate its free energy in the spirit of the TAP approach, named after Thouless, Anderson, and Palmer. More precisely, we define and compute the generalized…
The mean field spin glass model is analyzed by a combination of mathematically rigororous methods and a powerful Ansatz. The method exploited is general, and can be applied to others disordered mean field models such as, e.g., neural…
