When $M=1$ the solution manifold corresponds to the energy
level set of a spherical spin glass with energy density $E=V_0/\sqrt N$. All the
results from the previous sections follow, and can be translated to the spin

+ It is plausible that the limits of $N\to\infty$ implicit in the saddle point expansion and the limit of $\alpha\to0$ taken here do not commute, and that $M=1$ should be taken from the beginning of the calculation. However, in this case the two procedures do commute. The $\alpha\to0$ limit accomplishes only the elimination of the first term from the effective action \eqref{eq:S.m}, while following Appendix~\ref{sec:euler} with $M=1$ from the outset results in the same term not appearing in the effective action because it is of subleading order in $N$.
