Universality in Sherrington-Kirkpatrick's spin glass model (Q2490101): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model described by the Hamiltonian \[ - \beta H_N (\sigma, \xi)= {1 \over \sqrt{N}}\sum_{1 \leq i,j\leq N}\xi_{ij}\sigma_i \sigma_j + h \sum_{i=1}^N \sigma_i, \] where \(\sigma = (\sigma_i)\) are Ising's spins and the i.i.d. random variables \(\xi =(\xi_{ij})\) obey the conditions \[ {\mathbf E}[\xi_{ij}] = 0 , \quad {\mathbf E}[\xi^2_{ij}] = 1, \quad {\mathbf E}[| \xi_{ij}| ^3]< \infty. \] The model is characterized by the free energy density \[ f_N (\beta ,\xi) = {1 \over N} \log \left\{ 2^{-N} \sum_{\sigma} \exp ( - \beta H(\sigma , \xi) \right\} \] and by the zero-field ground state energy \[ S_N (\xi) = \sup_{\sigma}\sum_{1 \leq i,j\leq N}\xi_{ij}\sigma_i \sigma_j. \] If the random interaction is standard Gaussian \(\xi = g\), \textit{F. Guerra} [Commun. Math. Phys. 233, No. 1, 1--12 (2003; Zbl 1013.82023)] and \textit{F. Guerra} and \textit{F. L. Toninelli} [ibid. 230, No. 1, 71--79 (2002; Zbl 1004.82004)] proved that \(f_N (\beta , g) \rightarrow \alpha_\infty (\beta)\), \(N^{-3/2} S_N (g) \rightarrow e_\infty\) almost surely and in average. \textit{M. Talagrand} [Random Struct. Algorithms 21, No. 3--4, 197--204 (2002; Zbl 1014.60050)] proved the same fact with the same \(\alpha_\infty (\beta)\) if the interaction is distributed according to Bernoulli. The result of the note under review is as follows. It has been proven that under the conditions listed above, \(f_N (\beta , \xi) \rightarrow \alpha_\infty (\beta)\), \(N^{-3/2} S_N (g) \rightarrow e_\infty\) with the same \(\alpha_\infty\) and \(e_\infty\). Furthermore, the rates of these convergences are obtained.
