Abstract
In this paper a new technique is analyzed to solve certain mean-field models, with particular emphasis on the spin-glass case. We also present an extended Gibbs formalism which is based on the observation that every equilibrium state can be decomposed uniquely into its ergodic components, and apply it to spin-glasses.

The idea reappears in the more recent literature; e.g. R.B. Griffiths, Phys.Rev. 152 (1966) 240, Fig. l. The formalism of section 4.2 nicely explains the main results of this paper. See also R.G. Palmer, Adv.Phys. 31 (1982) 669, Fig. 2

In passing we note that a finite range of the interaction is not strictly necessary to derive the DLR equations.
