Proposed conjecture for the limit of mean-field spin glasses with bipartite structure is shown to be an upper bound via solution of infinite-dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi equation.

Abstract

We propose a conjecture for the limit of mean-field spin glasses with a bipartite structure, and show that the conjectured limit is an upper bound. 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.
