The Ghirlanda–Guerra identities for mixed p-spin model

Abstract

We show that, under the conditions known to imply the validity of the Parisi formula, if the generic Sherrington–Kirkpatrick Hamiltonian contains a p-spin term then the Ghirlanda–Guerra identities for the pth power of the overlap hold in a strong sense without averaging. This implies strong version of the extended Ghirlanda–Guerra identities for mixed p-spin models than contain terms for all even p ⩾ 2 and p = 1 .
