Abstract
The properties of metastable states at zero temperature are examined numerically for the infinite-ranged Ising spin-glass model. It is shown that the energy levels of the metastable states behave like a random energy model. Furthermore, it is found that the barrier energy between them is an increasing function of the Hamming distance. The result is consistent with the prediction that the metastable states have an ultrametric organisation in the phase space.Keywords
