Shattering-range conjecture for spherical pure pp-spin glasses

From papers

Let TsT_s and TshT_{sh} denote the static and shattering transition temperatures, respectively. For a temperature TT, say that the free energy landscape is (E,q,r)(E,q,r)-shattered when it has the shattering property defined in the paper for parameters (E,q,r)(E,q,r). Shattering-range conjecture. For every TT with

TsTTsh,T_s\leq T\leq T_{sh},

the free energy landscape is (E,q,r)(E,q,r)-shattered for some (E,q,r)(E,q,r), and it is not shattered for any T>TshT>T_{sh} or T<TsT<T_s.

The paper proves shattering on a nontrivial temperature interval beginning no later than TsT_s, while the precise range is expected to be (Ts,Tsh](T_s,T_{sh}]. The conjecture asserts both the full shattering interval and its absence outside that interval.
