Aging Phase Diagram and Exact Asymptotic Energies of Mixed Spherical Spin Glasses
Abstract
We determine the aging phase diagram of mixed spherical $(p+s)$-spin glasses quenched from random configurations to zero temperature. Solving the asymptotic dynamical equations of Cugliandolo and Kurchan, we find transitions between aging states with one, two, and continuously many effective temperatures, including phases in which discrete and continuous hierarchies coexist. We obtain analytic expressions for the energies reached asymptotically by the dynamics. In models combining pairwise and higher-order interactions, and sufficiently separated interaction orders ($s>3$), a fully continuous phase exists, where the gradient descent relaxation converges to the algorithmic energy lower bound. Instead, in mixed models with only high-order interactions ($p\ge3$) the energy relaxation remains strictly above it. Numerical integration of the dynamical equations is consistent with the predicted two-step and mixed discrete--continuous aging states.
