Abstract
We show that for low enough temperatures, but still above the AT line, the Jacobian of the TAP equations for the SK model has a macroscopic fraction of eigenvalues outside the unit interval. This provides a simple explanation for the numerical instability of the fixed points, which thus occurs already in high temperature. The insight leads to some algorithmic considerations on the low temperature regime.
