We study the stable matching problem in non-bipartite graphs with incomplete but strict preference lists, where the edges have weights and the goal is to compute a stable matching of minimum or maximum weight. This problem is known to be…

A two-state spin system is specified by a 2 x 2 matrix A = {A_{0,0} A_{0,1}, A_{1,0} A_{1,1}} = {\beta 1, 1 \gamma} where \beta, \gamma \ge 0. Given an input graph G=(V,E), the partition function Z_A(G) of a system is defined as Z_A(G) =…

We propose an importance sampling scheme to estimate the partition function of the two-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model and the two-dimensional ferromagnetic $q$-state Potts model, both in the presence of an external magnetic field.…

We consider the problem of sampling from the ferromagnetic Potts and random-cluster models on a general family of random graphs via the Glauber dynamics for the random-cluster model. The random-cluster model is parametrized by an edge…

In a seminal paper, Weitz showed that for two-state spin systems, such as the Ising and hardcore models from statistical physics, correlation decay on trees implies correlation decay on arbitrary graphs. The key gadget in Weitz's reduction…

Hardcore and Ising models are two most important families of two state spin systems in statistic physics. Partition function of spin systems is the center concept in statistic physics which connects microscopic particles and their…

We show that the Potts model on a graph can be approximated by a sequence of independent and identically distributed spins in terms of Wasserstein distance at high temperatures. We prove a similar result for the Curie--Weiss--Potts model on…

We consider the $q$-state Potts model on families of self-dual strip graphs $G_D$ of the square lattice of width $L_y$ and arbitrarily great length $L_x$, with periodic longitudinal boundary conditions. The general partition function $Z$…

A scheme for measuring complex temperature partition functions of Ising models is introduced. In the context of ordered qubit registers this scheme finds a natural translation in terms of global operations, and single particle measurements…

We study the antiferromagnetic 3-state Potts model on general (periodic) plane quadrangulations $\Gamma$. Any quadrangulation can be built from a dual pair $(G,G^*)$. Based on the duality properties of $G$, we propose a new criterion to…

We consider the classic budgeted maximum weight independent set (BMWIS) problem. The input is a graph $G = (V,E)$, a weight function $w:V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$, a cost function $c:V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$, and a budget…

While the ground-state problem for the random-field Ising model is polynomial, and can be solved using a number of well-known algorithms for maximum flow or graph cut, the analogue random-field Potts model corresponds to a multi-terminal…

We present several results on the mixing time of the Glauber dynamics for sampling from the Gibbs distribution in the ferromagnetic Potts model. At a fixed temperature and interaction strength, we study the interplay between the maximum…

We compute the finite-temperature phase diagram of a pseudospin-$1/2$ Bose gas with contact interactions, using two complementary methods: the random phase approximation (RPA) and self-consistent Hartree-Fock theory. We show that the…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, $k\in \mathbb{N}$, and a complex number $w$ the partition function of the univariate Potts model is defined as \[ {\bf Z}(G;k,w):=\sum_{\phi:V\to [k]}\prod_{\substack{uv\in E \\ \phi(u)=\phi(v)}}w, \] where…

We study tree approximations to classical two-body partition functions on sparse and loopy graphs via the Brydges-Kennedy-Abdessalam-Rivasseau forest expansion. We show that for sparse graphs (with large cycles), the partition function…

We investigate numerically and analytically Potts models on ``thin'' random graphs -- generic Feynman diagrams, using the idea that such models may be expressed as the N --> 1 limit of a matrix model. The thin random graphs in this limit…

We provide an explicit formula for the limiting free energy density (log-partition function divided by the number of vertices) for ferromagnetic Potts models on uniformly sparse graph sequences converging locally to the d-regular tree for d…

The Balanced Connected Subgraph problem (BCS) was recently introduced by Bhore et al. (CALDAM 2019). In this problem, we are given a graph $G$ whose vertices are colored by red or blue. The goal is to find a maximum connected subgraph of…

We consider the Potts model with $q$ colors on a sequence of weighted graphs with adjacency matrices $A_n$, allowing for both positive and negative weights. Under a mild regularity condition the mean-field prediction for the log partition…
