Disorder chaos in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with external field (Q378806): Difference between revisions

The author considers a spin system obtained by coupling two distinct Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) models with the same temperature and external field whose Hamiltonians are correlated. The disorder chaos conjecture for the SK model states that the overlap under the corresponding Gibbs measure is essentially concentrated at a single value. In the absence of an external field, this statement was first confirmed by \textit{S. Chatterjee} [``Disorder chaos and multiple valleys in spin glasses'', Preprint, \url{arxiv:0907.3381}]. In the present paper, using Guerra's replica symmetry breaking bound [\textit{F. Guerra}, Commun. Math. Phys. 233, No.~1, 1--12 (2003; Zbl 1013.82023)], the author proves that the SK model is also chaotic in the presence of the external field and the position of the overlap is determined by an equation related to Guerra's bound and the Parisi measure. The present paper was partially motivated by the book by \textit{M. Talagrand} [Mean field models for spin glasses. Volume II: Advanced replica-symmetry and low temperature. Berlin: Springer (2011; Zbl 1232.82005)].
