| Summary: | Excluding some special cases, computing the critical inverse-temperature
$\beta_c$ of a mixed $p$-spin spin glass model is a difficult task. The only
known method to calculate its value for a general model requires the full power
of the Parisi formula. On the other hand, an easy application of the second
moment method to the partition function yields an explicit lower bound
$\beta_m\leq \beta_c$ to the critical inverse-temperature. Interestingly, in
the important case of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model $\beta_m=\beta_c$. In
this work we consider the multi-species spherical mixed $p$-spin models without
external field, and characterize by a simple condition the models for which the
second moment method works in the whole replica symmetric phase, namely, models
such that $\beta_m=\beta_c$. In particular, for those models we obtain the
value of $\beta_c$. |
