In recent years statistical physics has proven to be a valuable tool to probe into large dimensional inference problems such as the ones occurring in machine learning. Statistical physics provides analytical tools to study fundamental…
We introduce a hierarchical class of approximations of the random Ising spin glass in $d$ dimensions. The attention is focused on finite clusters of spins where the action of the rest of the system is properly taken into account. At the…
In this paper we adapt the broken replica interpolation technique (developed by Francesco Guerra to deal with the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, namely a pairwise mean-field spin-glass whose couplings are i.i.d. standard Gaussian variables)…
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 investigate the energy landscape of the spherical mixed even p-spin model near its maximum energy. We relate the distance between pairs of near maxima to the support of the Parisi measure at zero temperature. We then provide an algebraic…
Using Monte Carlo simulations, we study in detail the overlap distribution for individual samples for several spin-glass models including the infinite-range Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, short-range Edwards-Anderson models in three and…
An one-step replica-symmetry-breaking solution for finite connectivity spin-glass models with K body interaction is constructed at finite temperature using the replica method and thermodynamic constraints. In the absence of external fields,…
These lecture notes focus on the mean field theory of spin glasses, with particular emphasis on the presence of a very large number of metastable states in these systems. This phenomenon, and some of its physical consequences, will be…
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…
Spin-glass systems are universal models for representing many-body phenomena in statistical physics and computer science. High quality solutions of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems can be encoded into low energy states of…
In this paper, we show that the replica symmetry of the Gibbs measure of spherical spin systems is a property of the eigenvalue spacing at the edge of the interaction matrix. In particular, our interaction matrix has \textbf{two} large…
The Parisi formula for the free energy is among the crown jewels in the theory of spin glasses. We present a simpler proof of the lower bound in the case of the spherical mean-field model. Our method follows the TAP approach developed…
We prove the existence of full replica symmetry breaking (FRSB) for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model at low temperature. More specifically, we prove that slightly beyond the critical temperature, the Parisi measure for the SK model is…
Purpose of this paper is to face up to P-spin glass and Gaussian P-spin model, i.e. spin glasses with polynomial interactions of degree P > 2. We consider the replica symmetry and first step of replica simmetry breaking assumptions and we…
In the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) and related mixed $p$-spin models, there is interest in understanding replica symmetry breaking at low temperatures. For this reason, the so-called AT line proposed by de Almeida and Thouless as a…
The Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass model has been studied as a source of insight into the statistical mechanics of systems with highly diversified collections of competing low energy states. The goal of this summary is to present some…
Spin glasses are models of statistical mechanics in which a large number of simple elements interact with one another in a disordered fashion. One of the fundamental results of the theory is the Parisi formula, which identifies the limit of…
We analyze the full replica symmetry breaking (full--RSB) free energy functional for the Ising spin glass on a random regular graph proposed by the author in \cite{MyPaper}. We prove that the full--RSB formulation provides an improvement…
We present a general and powerful numerical method useful to study the density matrix of spin models. We apply the method to finite dimensional spin glasses, and we analyze in detail the four dimensional Edwards-Anderson model with Gaussian…
We study a variant of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (S-K) spin glass model with external field, where the random symmetric couplings matrix does not consist of i.i.d. entries but is instead orthogonally invariant in law. For sufficiently high…
