The Spherical Mixed $p$-Spin Glass At Zero Temperature

Abstract

We consider the spherical mixed $p$-spin models and investigate the structure of the Parisi measure at zero temperature. We prove that for the spherical spin models with $n$ components, the Parisi measure at zero temperature is at most $n$-RSB or $n$-FRSB. We also provide a necessary and sufficient computational criterion for the spherical mixed $p$-spin model to be $k$-RSB or $k$-FRSB, $k\le n.$
