Abstract: Consider the complete graph on $n$ vertices. To each vertex assign an Ising spin that can take the values $-1$ or $+1$. Each spin $iin[n]=1,2,dots,n$ interacts with a magnetic field $hin[0,infty)$, while each pair of spins $i,jin[n]$ interact with each other at coupling strength $n^{-1}J(i)J(j)$, where $J=(J(i){)}_{iin[n]}$ are i.i.d. non-negative random variables drawn from a probability distribution with finite support. Spins flip according to a Metropolis dynamics at inverse temperature $$. We show that there are critical thresholds $$ and $$ such that, in the limit as $noinfty$, the system exhibits metastable behaviour if and only if $$ and $$. Our main result is a sharp asymptotics, up to a multiplicative error $1+o_n(1)$, of the average crossover time from any metastable state to the set of states with lower free energy. We use standard techniques of the potential-theoretic approach to metastability. The leading order term in the asymptotics does not depend on the realisation of $J$, while the correction terms do. The leading order of the correction term is $sqrtn$ times a centred Gaussian random variable with a complicated variance depending on $$, on the law of $J$ and on the metastable state. The critical thresholds $$ and $$ depend on the law of $J$, and so does the number of metastable states. We derive an explicit formula for $$ and identify some properties of $$. Interestingly, the latter is not necessarily monotone, meaning that the metastable crossover may be re-entrant.
