Consider a system of $n$ spins $\\sigma\\in\\Omega^{n}$ with the usual set $\\Omega=\\left\\{ -1,1\\right\\}$ of inner states and let $\\mu:\\,\\Omega^{n}\\rightarrow\\left[0,1\\right]$ a probability measure on it (also random). We interpret the pure states as components of a nontrivial partition of $\\Omega^{n}$ such that the measure conditioned to each component behaves like a product measure. Starting from such definition we are able to derive a very general variational principle. Then we reinterpret the assumptions of the RSB scheme to define a sequence of approximated probability measure and, finally, we apply our results to the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model to obtain the Parisi formula.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-13T05:11:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82D30", "60F10" ], "keywords": [ "pure state", "probability measure", "general variational principle", "infinite spin systems", "replica symmetry breaking ansatz" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
