The Hard-Core Model on Bipartite Spectral Expanders: Counting and Sampling at All Fugacities

Ijay Narang, Will Perkins

We study approximate counting and sampling algorithms for the hard-core model on -regular bipartite graphs under a spectral expansion condition. Let be the biadjacency mat…

Computational Thresholds for Balanced and Fixed-Slice Independent Sets in Bipartite Graphs

Ijay Narang, Will Perkins, Yuzhou Wang +1

Motivated by recent work of Kocurek, Oveis Gharan, and Tjowasi, which gives an efficient sampling algorithm for the hard-core model on random regular bipartite graphs by decomposin…

Sampling Colorings with Fixed Color Class Sizes

Aiya Kuchukova, Will Perkins, Xavier Povill

In 1970 Hajnal and Szemerédi proved a conjecture of Erdös that for a graph with maximum degree , there exists an equitable coloring; that is a coloring where color cla…

Fast and Slow Mixing of the Kawasaki Dynamics on Bounded-Degree Graphs

Aiya Kuchukova, Marcus Pappik, Will Perkins +1

We study the worst-case mixing time of the global Kawasaki dynamics for the fixed-magnetization Ising model on the class of graphs of maximum degree . Proving a conjecture of C…

Fixed-magnetization Ising on random graphs up to reconstruction

Reza Gheissari, Will Perkins, Corrine Yap

We study the fixed-magnetization ferromagnetic Ising model on random -regular graphs for and inverse temperature below the tree reconstruction threshold. Our main resul…
