Abstract: We consider a random Hamiltonian H:SigmaomathbbR defined on a compact space Sigma that admits a transitive action by a compact group mathcalG. When the law of H is mathcalG-invariant, we show its expected free energy relative to the unique mathcalG-invariant probability measure on Sigma obeys a subadditivity property in the law of H itself. The bound is often tight for weak disorder and relates free energies at different temperatures when H is a Gaussian process. Many examples are discussed including branching random walk, several spin glasses, random constraint satisfaction problems, and the random field Ising model. We also provide a generalization to quantum Hamiltonians with applications to the quantum SK and SYK models.
