Tóm tắt

If a mean field model for spin glasses is generic in the sense that it satisfies the extended Ghirlanda–Guerra identities, and if the law of the overlaps has a point mass at the largest point q* of its support, we prove that one can decompose the configuration space into a sequence of sets (A k ) such that, generically, the overlap of two configurations is equal to q* if and only if they belong to the same set A k . For the study of the overlaps each set A k can be replaced by a single point. Combining this with a recent result of Panchenko (A connection between Ghirlanda–Guerra identities and ultrametricity. Ann Probab (2008, to appear)) this proves that if the overlaps take only finitely many values, ultrametricity occurs. We give an elementary, self-contained proof of this result based on simple inequalities and an averaging argument.
