Abstract
This chapter gives the formal definition of multiple valleys, and the proof that chaos implies multiple valleys. This is another key result of this monograph. This result is then used to prove multiple valleys in polymer models, spin glasses and the Kauffman-Levin fitness model from evolutionary biology.
