Spin glasses are models of statistical mechanics in which a large number of
elementary units, called spins, interact in a disordered manner. One of the
main results of the theory is the Parisi formula, which describes the limit of
the free energy of these systems. The goal of my talk will be to present this
formula and some open problems that relate to it, as well as partial progress.
