The SK model is Full-step Replica Symmetry Breaking at zero temperature

We prove that the Parisi measure of the mixed p-spin model at zero temperature has infinitely many points in its support. This establishes Parisi's prediction that the functional order parameter of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model is not a step function at zero temperature. As a consequence, we show that the number of levels of broken replica symmetry in the Parisi formula of the free energy diverges as the temperature goes to zero.
