We explore the consequences of Replica Symmetry Breaking at zero temperatur
e. We introduce a repulsive coupling between a system and its unperturbed g
round state. In the Replica Symmetry Breaking scenario a finite coupling in
duces a non trivial overlap probability distribution among the unperturbed
ground state and thr: one in presence of the coupling. We find a closed for
mula for this probability for arbitrary ultrametric trees, in tt rms of the
parameters defining the tree. The same probability is computed in numerica
l simulations of a simple model with many ground states, but no ultrametric
ity: polymers in random media in 1 + 1 dimension. This gives us an idea of
what violation of our formula can be expected in cases when ultrametricity
does not hold.
