We show that mixing for local, reversible dynamics of mean field spin glasses is exponentially slow in the low temperature regime. We introduce a notion of free energy barriers for the overlap, and prove that their existence imply that the…
We investigate the fluctuations of the free energy of the $2$-spin spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model at critical temperature $\beta_c = 1$. When $\beta = 1$ we find asymptotic Gaussian fluctuations with variance $\frac{1}{6N^2}…
