The conjectured limit is described in terms of the solution of an infinite-dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi equation. A fundamental difficulty of the problem is that the nonlinearity in this equation is not convex. We also question the possibility to characterize this conjectured limit in terms of a saddle-point problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-03T17:21:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B44", "82D30" ], "keywords": [ "mean-field spin glasses", "nonconvex interactions", "conjectured limit", "infinite-dimensional hamilton-jacobi equation", "bipartite structure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 44, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
