In this paper and in the companion one we address the problem of identifying the effective theory that describes the statistics of the fluctuations of what is thought to be the relevant order parameter for glassy systems---the overlap field…
We prove a Parisi formula for the limiting free energy of multi-species spherical spin glasses with mixed $p$-spin interactions. The upper bound involves a Guerra-style interpolation and requires a convexity assumption on the model's…
We discuss a generalization of the conditions of validity of the interpolation method for the density of quenched free energy of mean field spin glasses. The condition is written just in terms of the $L^2$ metric structure of the Gaussian…
We establish relations between different characterizations of order in spin glass models. We first prove that the broadening of the replica overlap distribution indicated by a nonzero standard deviation of the replica overlap $R^{1,2}$…
By using a simple interpolation argument, in previous work we have proven the existence of the thermodynamic limit, for mean field disordered models, including the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, and the Derrida p-spin model. Here we extend…
We study the correlations between two equilibrium states of SK spin glasses at different temperatures or magnetic fields. The question, presiously investigated by Kondor and Kondor and V\'egs\"o, is approached here constraining two copies…
We study the Potts spin glass model, which generalizes the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model to the case when spins take more than two values but their interactions are counted only if the spins are equal. We obtain the analogue of the Parisi…
We study a diluted mean-field spin glass model with a quadratic Hamiltonian. Our main result establishes the limiting free energy in terms of an integral of a family of random variables that are the weak limits of the quenched variances of…
We identify a special class of multi-species spin glass models: ones in which the species proportions serve to ''balance'' out the interaction strengths. For this class, we prove a free energy lower bound that does not require any convexity…
The Ghatak-Sherrington (GS) spin glass model is a random probability measure defined on the configuration space $\{0,\pm1,\pm2,\ldots, \pm \mathcal{S} \}^N$ with system size $N$ and $\mathcal{S}\ge1$ finite. This generalizes the classical…
We revisit the concept of marginal stability in glasses, and determine its range of applicability in the context of avalanche-type response to slow external driving. We argue that there is an intimate connection between a pseudo-gap in the…
We prove a duality principle that connects the thermodynamic limits of the free energies of the Hamiltonians and their squared interactions. Under the main assumption that the limiting free energy is concave in the squared temperature…
The Ising $p$-spin glass and random $k$-SAT are two canonical examples of disordered systems that play a central role in understanding the link between geometric features of optimization landscapes and computational tractability. Both…
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 study numerically various properties of the free energy barriers in the Edwards-Anderson model of spin glasses in the low-temperature region both in three and four spatial dimensions. In particular, we investigated the dependence of…
We study the phenomenon of the locking of the order parameter (or synchronization) in spin glasses at low temperatures. When two systems with independent disorders are coupled, their overlaps become similar. A crucial question is how this…
We present a unifying approach to studying the replica symmetric solution in general diluted spin glass models on random $p$-uniform hypergraphs with sparsity parameter $\alpha$. Our result shows that there exist two key regimes in which…
We study efficient optimization of the Hamiltonians of multi-species spherical spin glasses. Our results characterize the maximum value attained by algorithms that are suitably Lipschitz with respect to the disorder through a variational…
In order to study certain questions concerning the distribution of the overlap in Sherrington--Kirkpatrick type models, such as the chaos and ultrametricity problems, it seems natural to study the free energy of multiple systems with…
A random overlap structure (ROSt) is a measure on pairs (X,Q) where X is a locally finite sequence in the real line with a maximum and Q a positive semidefinite matrix of overlaps intrinsic to the particles X. Such a measure is said to be…
