The eigenvalue spectrum of the Hessian matrix of the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP) free energy is found to consist of a continuous band of positive eigenvalues in addition to an isolated eigenvalue and (m-1) null eigenvalues due to rotational invariance. Rather surprisingly, the band does not extend to zero at any finite temperature. The isolated eigenvalue becomes zero in the thermodynamic limit, as in the Ising case (m=1), indicating that the same supersymmetry breaking recently found in Ising spin glasses occurs in vector spin glasses.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-04-07T14:43:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complexity", "m-vector spin glasses", "isolated eigenvalue", "ising spin glasses occurs", "hessian matrix" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
