\section{Kac-Rice}

\begin{align*}
  \Sigma
  =-\epsilon\hat\epsilon+\lim_{n\to0}\frac1n\left(
    \sum_a\mu(F_{aa}-R_{aa})
    +\frac12\sum_{ab}\left[
      \hat\epsilon^2f(Q_{ab})+2\hat\epsilon R_{ab}f'(Q_{ab})
      +D_{ab}f'(Q_{ab})+R_{ab}^2f''(Q_{ab})-F_{ab}^2f''(Q_{ab})
    \right]\right.\\\left.
  +\frac12\log\det\begin{bmatrix}Q&-iR\\-iR&-D\end{bmatrix}
  -\log\det F
  \right)
\end{align*}
\[
  0=\frac{\partial\Sigma}{\partial R_{ab}}
  =-\mu\delta_{ab}+\hat\epsilon f'(Q_{ab})+R_{ab}f''(Q_{ab})+\sum_c(R^2-DQ)^{-1}_{ac}R_{cb}
\]
\[
  0=\frac{\partial\Sigma}{\partial D_{ab}}
  =\frac12 f'(Q_{ab})-\frac12\sum_c(R^2-DQ)^{-1}_{ac}Q_{cb}
\]
The second equation implies
\[
  (R^2-DQ)^{-1}=Q^{-1}f'(Q)
\]
Insert the diagonal ansatz $R=R_dI$, $D=D_dI$. Then
\[
  0=(R_df''(1)-\mu)I+\hat\epsilon f'(Q)+R_d(R_d^2I-D_dQ)^{-1}
  =(R_df''(1)-\mu)I+\hat\epsilon f'(Q)+R_dQ^{-1}f'(Q)
\]
and
\[
  Q^{-1}f'(Q)=(I+D_df'(Q))/R_d^2
\]
Substituting the second into the first, we have
\[
  0=(R_df''(1)-\mu)I+\hat\epsilon f'(Q)+\frac1{R_d}(I+D_df'(Q))
\]
\[
  0=(R_df''(1)-\mu+R_d^{-1})I+(\hat\epsilon+D_d/R_d)f'(Q)
\]
The only way for this equation to be satisfied off the diagonal for nontrivial $Q$ is for $D_d=-R_d\hat\epsilon$. We therefore have
\begin{align*}
  \Sigma
  =-\epsilon\hat\epsilon+\lim_{n\to0}\frac1n\left(
    n\mu(F_d-R_d)+\frac12n\left[
      \hat\epsilon R_df'(1)+R_d^2f''(1)-F_d^2f''(1)
    \right]
    +\frac12\sum_{ab}
      \hat\epsilon^2f(Q_{ab})
    ]\right.\\\left.
    +\frac12\log\det(\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1} Q+I)
    +n\log R_d
  -n\log F_d
  \right)
\end{align*}
Taking the saddle with respect to $\mu$ and $F_d$ yields
\[
  F_d=R_d
\]
\[
  \mu=R_d^{-1}(1+R_d^2f''(1))
\]
and gives
\begin{align*}
  \Sigma
  =-\epsilon\hat\epsilon+\lim_{n\to0}\frac1n\frac12\left(
    n
      \hat\epsilon R_df'(1)
    +\hat\epsilon^2\sum_{ab}
      f(Q_{ab})
    +\log\det(\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1} Q+I)
  \right)
\end{align*}
Finally, setting $0=\Sigma$ gives
\[
  \epsilon
  =\lim_{n\to0}\frac1n\frac12\left(nR_df'(1)+\hat\epsilon\sum_{ab}
      f(Q_{ab})
      +\frac1{\hat\epsilon}\log\det(\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1} Q+I)
  \right)
\]
which is precisely \eqref{eq:ground.state.free.energy} with $R_d=z$ and $\hat\epsilon=y$. Therefore, a $(k-1)$-RSB ansatz in Kac-Rice will predict the correct ground state energy for a model whose equilibrium state at small temperatures is $k$-RSB.

\begin{align*}
  \lim_{n\to0}\frac1n\log\det(\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1} Q+I)
  =x_1^{-1}\log\left(\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1}(1-\bar q_k)+1\right)+\int_{q_0^+}^{q_{k-1}}dq\,\mu(q)\log\left[\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1}\lambda(q)+1\right]
\end{align*}
where
\[
  \mu(q)=\frac{\partial x^{-1}(q)}{\partial q}
\]
Integrating by parts,
\begin{align*}
  \lim_{n\to0}\frac1n\log\det(\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1} Q+I)
  &=x_1^{-1}\log\left(\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1}(1-\bar q_k)+1\right)+\left[x^{-1}(q)\log[\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1}\lambda(q)+1]\right]_{q=q_0^+}^{q=q_{k-1}}-\frac{\hat\epsilon}{R_d}\int_{q_0^+}^{q_{k-1}}dq\,\frac{\lambda'(q)}{x(q)}\frac1{\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1}\lambda(q)+1}\\
  &=\log[\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1}\lambda(q_{k-1})+1]+\frac{\hat\epsilon}{R_d}\int_{q_0^+}^{q_{k-1}}dq\,\frac1{\hat\epsilon R_d^{-1}\lambda(q)+1}
\end{align*}

\begin{align*}
  \Sigma
  =-\epsilon\hat\epsilon+
    \frac12\hat\epsilon R_df'(1)
    +\frac12\int_0^1dq\,\left[
      \hat\epsilon^2\lambda(q)f''(q)
      +\frac1{\lambda(q)+R_d/\hat\epsilon}
    \right]
\end{align*}
for $\lambda$ concave, monotonic,  $\lambda(1)=0$, and $\lambda'(1)=-1$
\[
  0=\frac{\partial\Sigma}{\partial R_d}
  =\frac12\hat\epsilon f'(1)-\frac12\frac1{\hat\epsilon}\int_0^1dq\,\frac{\lambda(q)}{[\lambda(q)+R_d/\hat\epsilon]^2}
\]
\[
  0=\frac{\partial\Sigma}{\partial\hat\epsilon}
  =-\epsilon+\frac12R_d f'(1)+\hat\epsilon\int_0^1dq\,\lambda(q)f''(q)+\frac12\frac{R_d}{\hat\epsilon^2}\int_0^1dq\,\frac{\lambda(q)}{[\lambda(q)+R_d/\hat\epsilon]^2}
\]
\[
  0=\frac{\delta\Sigma}{\delta\lambda(q)}=\frac12\hat\epsilon^2f''(q)-\frac12\frac1{(\lambda(q)+R_d/\hat\epsilon)^2}
\]
\[
  \lambda^*(q)=\frac1{\hat\epsilon}\left[f''(q)^{-1/2}-R_d\right]
\]

We suppose that solutions are given by
\begin{equation}
  \lambda(q)=\begin{cases}
    \lambda^*(q) & q<q^* \\
    1-q          & q\geq q^*
  \end{cases}
\end{equation}
where $1-q$ guarantees the boundary conditions at $q=1$, and corresponds to the 0RSB or annealed solutions (annealed Kac-Rice is recovered by substituting in $1-q$ for $\lambda$). We will need to require that $1-q^*=\lambda^*(q^*)$, i.e., continuity.

The two saddle points equations for $R_d$ and $\hat\epsilon$ give
\[
  0=\frac12\hat\epsilon f'(1)-\frac12\int_0^{q_*}dq\,\left[f''(q)^{1/2}-R_df''(q)\right]
  -\frac12\frac1{\hat\epsilon}\int_{q^*}^1dq\,\frac{1-q}{(1-q+R_d/\hat\epsilon)^2}
\]
