Establishes variance lower bounds for hitting times of random walks on graphs and disproves a conjecture on local nonconcentration via high-degree constructions.
For any fixed β, there exists a system-size-independent external field θ such that Glauber dynamics on the SK model mixes in polynomial time with high probability.
Defines temporal conductance Φ for dynamic networks and proves the voter model consensus time is O(m/(d_min Φ)) with a tight lower bound.
Tempering chains achieve polynomial spectral gap lower bounds of order 11-12 for multimodal Gibbs measures without explicit energy landscape structure.
Proves cutoff at entropic time log n/h for reversible mixtures of permuted Markov chains under mild assumptions on the base chains.
EntroPath defines a free-energy dissimilarity from maximum-entropy random walk path ensembles and proves it converges to squared geodesic distance in the short-time limit via Varadhan's formula.
A genus-preserving chord swap Markov chain on chord diagrams is shown to mix in polynomial time for any fixed genus.
Establishes weak convergence of the quadratic field for speed-change Kawasaki dynamics to equilibrium fluctuation in the non-gradient case.
Quantum graphs are presented as a paradigmatic model for quantum chaos, with the paper providing a didactical overview of foundational results and some recent developments.
