We illustrate the use of probability theory in existential proofs, focusing on the Lov\'asz Local Lemma. This result gives a lower bound for the probability of avoiding a suitable finite collection of events. We describe some applications…

The Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL) is a powerful tool in probability theory to show the existence of combinatorial objects meeting a prescribed collection of "weakly dependent" criteria. We show that the LLL extends to a much more general…

Lov\'asz Local Lemma (LLL) is a probabilistic tool that allows us to prove the existence of combinatorial objects in the cases when standard probabilistic argument does not work (there are many partly independent conditions). LLL can be…

The Lov\'asz Local Lemma is a versatile result in probability theory, characterizing circumstances in which a collection of $n$ `bad events', each occurring with probability at most $p$ and dependent on a set of underlying random variables,…

We propose a new algorithmic framework, called "partial rejection sampling", to draw samples exactly from a product distribution, conditioned on none of a number of bad events occurring. Our framework builds (perhaps surprising) new…

The Lov\'asz Local Lemma is a seminal result in probabilistic combinatorics. It gives a sufficient condition on a probability space and a collection of events for the existence of an outcome that simultaneously avoids all of those events.…

The Quantum Satisfiability problem generalizes the Boolean satisfiability problem to the quantum setting by replacing classical clauses with local projectors. The Quantum Lov\'asz Local Lemma gives a sufficient condition for a Quantum…

The Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma (LLL) is a keystone principle in probability theory, guaranteeing the existence of configurations which avoid a collection $\mathcal B$ of "bad" events which are mostly independent and have low probability. In its…

We provide an alternative constructive proof of the Asymmetric Lov\'asz Local Lemma. Our proof uses the classic algorithmic framework of Moser and the analysis introduced by Giotis, Kirousis, Psaromiligkos, and Thilikos in "On the…

We define criteria for a hidden variables theory to be Lorentz invariant and prove that it implies no signaling. As a result, we show that a Lorentz invariant and contextual theory (e.g., quantum field theory) must be genuinely stochastic,…

The Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL) is a powerful result in probability theory that states that the probability that none of a set of bad events happens is nonzero if the probability of each event is small compared to the number of events that…

We develop a framework for the rigorous analysis of focused stochastic local search algorithms. These are algorithms that search a state space by repeatedly selecting some constraint that is violated in the current state and moving to a…

Given a collection of independent events each of which has strictly positive probability, the probability that all of them occur is also strictly positive. The Lov\'asz local lemma (LLL) asserts that this remains true if the events are not…
