Abstract

In [arXiv:2311.08980], it was shown that if the limit of the free energy in a non-convex vector spin glass model exists, it must be a critical value of a certain functional. In this work, we extend this result to multi-species spin glass models with non-convex interactions, where spins from different species may lie in distinct vector spaces. Since the species proportions may be irrational and the existence of the limit of the free energy is not generally known, non-convex multi-species models cannot be approximated by vector spin models in a straightforward manner, necessitating more careful treatment.
