Unlike real landscapes, there is no useful classification of + saddles by index. Instead, the spectrum at critical points determines their + tendency to trade topological numbers under analytic continuation of the + theory. These trades, which occur at Stokes points, proliferate when the + spectrum includes marginal directions and are exponentially suppressed + otherwise. This gives a direct interpretation of the `threshold' energy---which + in the real case separates saddles from minima---where the spectrum of + typical critical points develops a gap. This leads to different consequences + for the analytic continuation of real landscapes with different structures: + the global minima of ``one step replica-symmetry broken'' landscapes lie + beyond a threshold and are locally protected from Stokes points, whereas + those of ``many step replica symmetry broken'' lie at the threshold and + Stokes points immediately proliferate. + +% Contrary to the real case, the index of saddles is not itself +% relevant, as it is always half the total dimension. The relevant topological +% objects here are Stokes trajectories, gradient lines joining two saddles, where +% Lefschetz thimbles merge. The well-studied `threshold level', separating +% regions with minima from regions with saddles in the real case, here separates +% regions where Stokes lines are rare, from region where they proliferate. +% Likewise, when a real landscape is prolonged to complex variables, the +% distinction between "one step replica-symmetry breaking" and "many step replica +% symmetry breaking" is that in the former case the saddles are at first free of +% Stokes lines, while in the latter these immediately proliferate. \end{abstract} \maketitle |
