Random matrices and complexity of spin glasses. (English) Zbl 1269.82066
A question of interest in the theory of spin glasses is the following. How many critical values does a typical random Morse function have on a high-dimensional manifold?
The authors propose some answers, and to this end derive an asymptotic evaluation of the complexity of spherical $$p$$-spin glass models by using symmetric random matrices with independent Gaussian.
