This means we give exact variational formulas for the asymptotics of the expected numbers of critical points and of local minima. This problem was initially considered by [Auffinger, Chen 2014], who gave upper and lower bounds on this complexity. We find two surprising connections between pure bipartite and pure single-species spin glasses, which were studied by [Auffinger, Ben Arous, \\v{C}ern\\'y 2013]. First, the local minima of any pure bipartite model lie primarily in a low-energy band, similar to the single-species case. Second, for a more restricted set of pure $(p, q)$ bipartite models, the complexity matches exactly that of a pure $p + q$ single-species model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2022-10-05T17:51:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60B20", "60G15", "82B44" ], "keywords": [ "bipartite spherical spin glasses", "complexity", "pure single-species spin glasses", "local minima", "pure bipartite model lie primarily" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
