abstract

We study the Ising pure $p$-spin model for large $p$. We investigate the landscape of the Hamiltonian of this model. We show that for any $\gamma>0$ and any large enough $p$, the model exhibits an intricate geometrical property known as the multi Overlap Gap Property above the energy value $\gamma\sqrt{2\ln 2}$. We then show that for any inverse temperature $\sqrt{\ln 2}<\beta<\sqrt{2\ln 2}$ and any large $p$, the model exhibits shattering: w.h.p. as $n\to\infty$, there exists exponentially many well-separated clusters such that (a) each cluster has exponentially small Gibbs mass, and (b) the clusters collectively contain all but a vanishing fraction of Gibbs mass. Moreover, these clusters consist of configurations with energy near $\beta$. Range of temperatures for which shattering occurs is within the replica symmetric region. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first shattering result regarding the Ising $p$-spin models. Our proof is elementary, and in particular based on simple applications of the first and the second moment methods.

  1. Sequential Dynamics in Ising Spin Glasses

    cond-mat.dis-nn 2025-06 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Block-sequential updates on the SK model are exactly characterized by a system of integro-difference equations, conjectured to coincide with systematic scan dynamics as the block size vanishes.

    math.PR 2024-12 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Shattering in the Ising pure p-spin model is proved for all large p and all β between (1+ε)√(2 log p/p) and (1-ε)√(2 log 2), and stable algorithms are shown to land only in exponentially rare parts of the near-typical...
