Abstract.

Some questions concerning the calculation of the number of “physical” (metastable) states or complexity of the spherical p-spin spin glass model are reviewed and examined further. Particular attention is focused on the general calculation procedure which is discussed step-by-step.

  22. Not to be confused with the angular part of m i used in Section 3. We leave it like this because it is the standard notation in literature

  23. Usually this function is written as \(G_{x_{\rm P}} = -B (1-q) + B^2/\lambda + \ln[1/(1-q)+B]\). The two expressions correspond to B = 0 and \(B\not=0\), respectively

  24. All integrals are well defined and no extra conditions must be added

  25. The coefficient in (30) contains the term \(|\partial_q f(q)|_{q=q^*}|\), where \(f(q)\) is the value of the TAP functional at its stationary point and not the TAP functional itself. A simple calculation shows that \(\partial_q f(q)= -(q- q_{\rm a})\,x_{\rm P}(q)/2\beta(1-q)^2\) which is vanishes only for \(q=q_{\rm a} {\mathrm or} x_{\rm P}=0\)

  30. By setting \(ix=-B\) one recovers the standard expression in terms of the variable B. We prefer to use x since in this way the integral is over the real axis
