TY - JOUR A1 - Kistler, Nicola A1 - Schmidt, Marius Alexander A1 - Sebastiani, Giulia T1 - On the REM approximation of TAP free energies T2 - Journal of Physics. A. Mathematical and Theoretical N2 - The free energy of TAP-solutions for the SK-model of mean field spin glasses can be expressed as a nonlinear functional of local terms: we exploit this feature in order to contrive abstract REM-like models which we then solve by a classical large deviations treatment. This allows to identify the origin of the physically unsettling quadratic (in the inverse of temperature) correction to the Parisi free energy for the SK-model, and formalizes the true cavity dynamics which acts on TAP-space, i.e. on the space of TAP-solutions. From a non-spin glass point of view, this work is the first in a series of refinements which addresses the stability of hierarchical structures in models of evolving populations.
