    Abstract:
    We discuss replica analytic continuation using several simple models in order to prove mathematically the validity of replica analysis, which is used in a wide range of fields related to large scale complex systems. While replica analysis consists of two analytical techniques, the replica trick (or replica analytic continuation) and the thermodynamical limit (and/or order parameter expansion), we focus our study on replica analytic continuation, which is the mathematical basis of the replica trick. We apply replica analysis to solve a variety of analytical models, and examine the properties of replica analytic continuation. Based on the positive results for these models we propose that replica analytic continuation is a robust procedure in replica analysis.

    We prove the analytic continuation of a certain family of Whittaker Archimedean integrals that arise as local factors of global $L$-functions associated to the standard representation of certain classical groups.

    We will now show that the "discrete" and "continuous" variants of analytic continuation given in Definitions 19.3 and 19.4, respectively, are closely related. The fact stated below is not required for our proof of Theorem 8.3 later in the course, but we have chosen to include it in the lecture in order to further clarify the concept of analytic continuation.

    Here we review the approach to glassy systems based on the replica method and we introduce the main ingredients of replica symmetry breaking. We explain why the replica method has been successful in spin glass and why it should be successful for real glasses.

    The second group of results that we need to obtain Theorem 8.3 concerns analytic continuation. In fact, as explained in Remark 20.1, we could avoid using analytic continuation for the purposes of proving Theorem 8.3. However, this is an important concept that is widely used in complex analysis in general, and we feel that it should be part of our presentation.
