The Gibbs measure of many disordered systems at low temperature may exhibit a very strong dependance on even tiny variations of temperature, usually called “temperature chaos”. I will discuss this question for Spin Glasses. I will report on a recent work with Eliran Subag (Courant) and Ofer Zeitouni (Weizmann and Courant), where we give a detailed geometric description of the Gibbs measure at low temperature, which in particular implies temperature chaos for a general class of spherical Spin Glasses at low temperature. This question has a very long past in the physics literature, and an interesting recent history in mathematics. Indeed, in 2015, Eliran Subag has given a very sharp description of the Gibbs measure for pure p-spin spherical Spin Glasses at low temperature, building on results on the complexity of these spin glasses by Auffinger-Cerny and myself. This description (close to the so-called Thouless-Anderson-Palmer picture) excludes the existence of temperature chaos for the pure p-spin!! The recent work gives an extension of this very detailed geometric description of the Gibbs measure to the case of general mixed models, and shows that in fact the pure p-spin is very singular.
