Random Multi-Overlap Structures and Cavity Fields in Diluted Spin Glasses

We introduce the concept of Random Multi-Overlap Structure (RaMOSt) as a generalization of the one introduced by M. Aizenman R. Sims and S. L. Starr for non-diluted spin glasses. We use such method to find generalized bounds for the free energy of the Viana-Bray model of diluted spin glasses and to formulate and prove the Extended Variational Principle that implicitly provides the free energy of the model. Then we exhibit a theorem for the limiting RaMOSt, analogous to the one found by F. Guerra for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, that describes some stability properties of the model. Last, we show how our technique can be used to prove the existence of thermodynamic limit of the free energy. The present work paves the way to a revisited Parisi theory for diluted spin systems.
