Disorder transfer for the critical SK overlap law
Abstract
We give a quantitative disorder comparison for the zero-field Sherrington--Kirkpatrick model at inverse temperature one. For any fixed number of replicas, replacing Gaussian couplings by independent couplings from a bounded symmetric variance-one law changes a bounded replica expectation by at most a constant times the Gaussian overlap second moment plus $N^{-1}$. A multiplicative comparison for nonnegative observables controls the tails. The proof uses Talagrand's positive-observable estimates and Yu-Ting Chen's fourth-order replica cancellation. Assuming the Gaussian critical overlap limit stated by Du and Huang, we obtain the same limit for the random quenched overlap measure in the iterated Wasserstein-2 topology. No separate moment assumption is needed for this transfer. Their additional exponential moment bound gives convergence of the rescaled spin-glass susceptibility in every finite Wasserstein distance. The coupling class includes fair signs, uniform disorder, and signs thinned at any fixed positive density.
