Graphical models use the intuitive and well-studied methods of graph theory to implicitly represent dependencies between variables in large systems. They can model the global behaviour of a complex system by specifying only local factors.…
We introduce a highly structured family of hard satisfiable 3-SAT formulas corresponding to an ordered spin-glass model from statistical physics. This model has provably "glassy" behavior; that is, it has many local optima with large energy…
Using elementary rigorous methods we prove the existence of a clustered phase in the random $K$-SAT problem, for $K\geq 8$. In this phase the solutions are grouped into clusters which are far away from each other. The results are in…

Facilitated or kinetically constrained spin models (KCSM) are a class of interacting particle systems reversible w.r.t. to a simple product measure. Each dynamical variable (spin) is re-sampled from its equilibrium distribution only if the…
We study the problem of testing and recovering $k$-clique Ferromagnetic mean shift in the planted Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model (i.e., a type of spin glass model) with $n$ spins. The planted SK model -- a stylized mixture of an uncountable…
