The Parisi formula for mixed $p$-spin models (1112.4409v2)

Abstract: The Parisi formula for the free energy in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick and mixed $p$-spin models for even $p\geq2$ was proved in the seminal work of Michel Talagrand [Ann. of Math. (2) 163 (2006) 221-263]. In this paper we prove the Parisi formula for general mixed $p$-spin models which also include $p$-spin interactions for odd $p$. Most of the ideas used in the paper are well known and can now be combined following a recent proof of the Parisi ultrametricity conjecture in [Ann. of Math. (2) 177 (2013) 383-393].
