High-dimensional Gaussian fields with isotropic increments seen through spin glasses

We study the free energy of a particle in (arbitrary) high-dimensional Gaussian random potentials with isotropic increments. We prove a computable saddle-point variational representation in terms of a Parisi-type functional for the free energy in the infinite-dimensional limit. The proofs are based on the techniques developed in the course of the rigorous analysis of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with vector spins. Keywords: Gaussian random fields, isotropic increments, random energy model, hierarchical replica symmetry breaking, Parisi Ansatz.
