For any integers $d,q\ge 3$, we consider the $q$-state ferromagnetic Potts model with an external field on a sequence of expander graphs that converges to the $d$-regular tree $\mathtt{T}_d$ in the Benjamini-Schramm sense. We show that…

We prove that the Loop O(1) model, a well-known graphical expansion of the Ising model, is a factor of i.i.d. on unimodular random rooted graphs under various conditions, including in the presence of a non-negative external field. As an…
We consider the ferromagnetic Ising model on a sequence of graphs $G_n$ converging locally weakly to a rooted random tree. Generalizing [Montanari, Mossel, Sly '11], under an appropriate "continuity" property, we show that the Ising…
Computing the partition function, $Z$, of an Ising model over a graph of $N$ \enquote{spins} is most likely exponential in $N$. Efficient variational methods, such as Belief Propagation (BP) and Tree Re-Weighted (TRW) algorithms, compute…
Statistical systems on random networks can be formulated in terms of partition functions expressed with integrals by regarding Feynman diagrams as random networks. We consider the cases of random networks with bounded but generic degrees of…
On locally tree-like random graphs, we relate the random cluster model with external magnetic fields and $q\geq 2$ to Ising models with vertex-dependent external fields. The fact that one can formulate general random cluster models in terms…

We prove limit theorems for systems of interacting diffusions on sparse graphs. For example, we deduce a hydrodynamic limit and the propagation of chaos property for the stochastic Kuramoto model with interactions determined by…
We propose a new approach to the analysis of Loopy Belief Propagation (LBP) by establishing a formula that connects the Hessian of the Bethe free energy with the edge zeta function. The formula has a number of theoretical implications on…
A statistical system is classically defined on a set of microstates $E$ by a global energy function $H : E \to \mathbb{R}$, yielding Gibbs probability measures (softmins) $\rho^\beta(H)$ for every inverse temperature $\beta = T^{-1}$. Gibbs…

The weight space of the Ising perceptron in which a set of random patterns is stored is examined using the generating function of the partition function $\phi(n)=(1/N)\log [Z^n]$ as the dimension of the weight vector $N$ tends to infinity,…

We study the ferromagnetic Ising model on the infinite $d$-regular tree under the free boundary condition. This model is known to be a factor of IID in the uniqueness regime, when the inverse temperature $\beta\ge 0$ satisfies $\tanh \beta…
