Tight lipschitz hardness for optimizing mean field spin glasses

B Huang, M Sellke - Communications on Pure and Applied …, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
We study the problem of algorithmically optimizing the Hamiltonian HN H_N of a spherical or

Proof of the satisfiability conjecture for large k

J Ding, A Sly, N Sun - Proceedings of the forty-seventh annual ACM …, 2015 - dl.acm.org
We establish the satisfiability threshold for random k-SAT for all k≥ k0. That is, there exists a
limiting density αs (k) such that a random k-SAT formula of clause density α is with high …

Parisi formula for balanced Potts spin glass

E Bates, Y Sohn - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2024 - Springer
The Potts spin glass is a generalization of the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick (SK) model that
allows for spins to take more than two values. Based on a novel synchronization …

Extremal cuts of sparse random graphs

A Dembo, A Montanari, S Sen - 2017 - projecteuclid.org
For Erdős–Rényi random graphs with average degree γ, and uniformly random γ-regular
graph on n vertices, we prove that with high probability the size of both the Max-Cut and …

and study the problem of sampling from the Gibbs distribution $\mu $ in polynomial time. We …

Nonconvex interactions in mean-field spin glasses

JC Mourrat - Probability and Mathematical Physics, 2021 - msp.org
We propose a conjecture for the limit free energy of mean-field spin glasses with a bipartite
structure, and show that the conjectured limit is an upper bound. The conjectured limit is …
