About the Overlap Distribution in Mean Field Spin Glass Modelsz

We continue our presentation of mathematically rigorous results about the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean eld spin glass model. Here we establish some properties of the distribution of overlaps between real replicas. They are in full agreement with the Parisi accepted picture of spontaneous replica symmetry breaking. As a byproduct, we show that the selfaveraging of the Edwards-Anderson uctuating order parameter, with respect to the external quenched noise, implies that the overlap distribution is given by the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick replica symmetric Ansatz. This extends previous results of Pastur and Shcherbina. Finally, we show how to generalize our results to realistic short range spin glass models.
