We study a recently introduced and exactly solvable mean-field model for the density of vibrational states $mathcal{D}(omega)$ of a structurally disordered system. The model is formulated as a collection of disordered anharmonic oscillators, with random stiffness $kappa$ drawn from a distribution $p(kappa)$, subjected to a constant field $h$ and interacting bilinearly with a coupling of strength $J$. We investigate the vibrational properties of its ground state at zero temperature. When $p(kappa)$ is gapped, the emergent $mathcal{D}(omega)$ is also gapped, for small $J$. Upon increasing $J$, the gap vanishes on a critical line in the $(h,J)$ phase diagram, whereupon replica symmetry is broken. At small $h$, the form of this pseudogap is quadratic, $mathcal{D}(omega)simomega^2$, and its modes are delocalized, as expected from previously investigated mean-field spin glass models. However, we determine that for large enough $h$, a quartic pseudogap $mathcal{D}(omega)simomega^4$, populated by localized modes, emerges, the two regimes being separated by a special point on the critical line. We thus uncover that mean-field disordered systems can generically display both a quadratic-delocalized and a quartic-localized spectrum at the glass transition.
