02 v 2 1 2 O ct 2 00 4 spin - glass stochastic stability : a rigorous proof

We prove the property of stochastic stability previously introduced as a consequence of the (unproved) continuity hypothesis in the temperature of the spin-glass quenched state. We show that stochastic stability holds in β-average for both the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model in terms of the square of the overlap function and for the Edwards-Anderson model in terms of the bond overlap. We show that the volume rate at which the property is reached in the thermodynamic limit is V −1. As a byproduct we show that the stochastic stability identities coincide with those obtained with a different method by Ghirlanda and Guerra when applyed to the thermal fluctuations only.
