Popis: We study the convergence time to equilibrium of the Metropolis dynamics for the Generalized Random Energy Model with an arbitrary number of hierarchical levels, a finite and reversible continuous-time Markov process, in terms of the spectral gap of its transition probability matrix. This is done by deducing bounds to the inverse of the gap using a Poincar\'e inequality and a path technique. We also apply convex analysis tools to give the bounds in the most general case of the model.
