Title: Stretched-exponential barriers for typical SK initial states.

Abstract: At every fixed inverse temperature β > 1, we prove a stretched-exponential obstruction to mixing for the zero-field Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model from typical equilibrium configurations held fixed as initial states. The Gibbs mass of states whose total-variation distance from equilibrium at time ${}exp(n{}{1/10000})$ exceeds 1/4 tends to one in probability over the disorder. This holds for rate-one-per-site heat-bath dynamics and after the same stated number of discrete update attempts.
