The statistical threshold for planted matchings and spanning trees

Louigi Addario-Berry, Omer Angel, Gábor Lugosi +2

In this paper, we study the problem of detecting the presence of a planted perfect matching or spanning tree in an Erdős--Rényi random graph. More precisely, we study the hypothesi…

Polynomial-time sampling despite disorder chaos

Eric Ma, Tselil Schramm

A distribution over instances of a sampling problem is said to exhibit transport disorder chaos if perturbing the instance by a small amount of random noise dramatically changes th…
