Thouless–Anderson–Palmer equations for generic $p$-spin glasses

Abstract

We study the Thouless–Anderson–Palmer (TAP) equations for spin glasses on the hypercube. First, using a random, approximately ultrametric decomposition of the hypercube, we decompose the Gibbs measure, $\langle \cdot \rangle_{N}$, into a mixture of conditional laws, $\langle \cdot \rangle_{\alpha,N}$. We show that the TAP equations hold for the spin at any site with respect to $\langle \cdot \rangle_{\alpha,N}$ simultaneously for all $\alpha $. This result holds for generic models provided that the Parisi measure of the model has a jump at the top of its support.
