Abstract: We show that the overlaps of two independent replicas drawn from the Gibbs measure of the Curie--Weiss model with random field (CWRF) exhibit sub-Gaussian tails when the inverse temperature $ β< 1$ and the random field is drawn from a Gaussian distribution that makes the expected magnetization of the CWRF equal to its expected overlap in the thermodynamic limit. To show this, we prove finite-moment concentration via a rigorous Laplace approximation for a certain random rate function, and ``bootstrap'' it to a uniform bound for the moment-generating function of the squared overlap deviations using a sharp analysis of the associated rate function.
