Goal:
So far we have discussed the equilibrium properties of disordered systems, that are encoded in their partition function and free energy. In this set of problems, we characterize the energy landscape of the spherical -spin, by determining the number of its stationary points.
Techniques: differential geometry (a tiny bit!), random matrix theory.
