Abstract

We study the landscape complexity of the Hamiltonian XN(x)+μ2x2,X_N(x) +\frac\mu2 \|x\|^2, where XNX_{N} is a smooth Gaussian process with isotropic increments on RN\mathbb R^{N}. This model describes a single particle on a random potential in statistical physics. We derive asymptotic formulas for the mean number of critical points of index kk with critical values in an open set as the dimension NN goes to infinity. In a companion paper, we provide the same analysis without the index constraint.
