Replica analysis of the generalized p-spin interaction glass model

Abstract

We investigate stability of replica symmetry breaking solutions in generalized $p$-spin models. It is shown that the kind of the transition to the one-step replica symmetry breaking state depends not only on the presence or absence of the reflection symmetry of the generalized "spin"-operators $\hat{U}$ but on the number of interacting operators and their individual characteristics.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figur
