Rapid phase ordering for Ising and Potts dynamics on random regular graphs
Reza Gheissari, Allan Sly, Youngtak Sohn
We consider the Ising, and more generally, -state Potts Glauber dynamics on random -regular graphs on vertices at low temperatures . The mixin…
Potts and random cluster measures on locally regular-tree-like graphs
Anirban Basak, Amir Dembo, Allan Sly
Fixing and an integer , consider the ferromagnetic -Potts measures on finite graphs on vertices, with external field strength $B…
Weak recovery, hypothesis testing, and mutual information in stochastic block models and planted factor graphs
Elchanan Mossel, Allan Sly, Youngtak Sohn
The stochastic block model is a canonical model of communities in random graphs. It was introduced in the social sciences and statistics as a model of communities, and in theoretic…
Likelihood-Based Root State Reconstruction on a Tree: Sensitivity to Parameters and Applications
David Clancy, Hanbaek Lyu, Sebastien Roch +1
We consider a broadcasting problem on a tree where a binary digit (e.g., a spin or a nucleotide's purine/pyrimidine type) is propagated from the root to the leaves through symmetri…
