The Mézard–Parisi formula for diluted spin glasses

Proves the Mézard–Parisi hierarchical cavity formula for Poisson-diluted even-arity Ising models satisfying the Panchenko–Talagrand factorization and positivity assumptions, with only first-moment integrability. The limiting free energy equals the infimum over finite-depth hierarchical trial laws. This includes the Viana–Bray model, symmetric diluted even-spin models, and weighted soft even-K satisfiability.
