Hierarchical solutions of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model: Exact asymptotic behavior near the critical temperature
Abstract
Description
We analyze the replica-symmetry-breaking construction in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of a spin glass. We present a general scheme for deriving an exact asymptotic behavior near the critical temperature of the solution with an arbitrary number of discrete hierarchies of the broken replica symmetry. We show that all solutions with finite-many hierarchies are unstable and only the scheme with infinite-many hierarchies becomes marginally stable. We show how the solutions from the discrete replica-symmetry-breaking scheme go over to the continuous one with increasing the number of hierarchies.
