Information percolation is a new method for analyzing stochastic spin systems through classifying and controlling the clusters of information-flow in the space-time slab. It yielded sharp mixing estimates (cutoff with an $O(1)$-window) for the Ising model on $Z^d$ up to the critical temperature, as well as results on the effect of initial conditions on mixing. In this expository note we demonstrate the method on lattices (more generally, on any locally-finite transitive graph) at very high…
The coupling time for the Ising heat-bath dynamics & efficient optimization for statistical inference
In this thesis we consider two separate topics of study. The first topic concerns the Ising heat-bath Glaubers dynamics. These dynamics describe a continuous time Markov chain, whose states are

In the study of Markov chain mixing times, analysis has centered on the performance from a worst-case starting state. Here, in the context of Glauber dynamics for the one-dimensional Ising model, we

This proof proves that for all small enough $p$ (depending on the dimension) and any $q>1$, the FK-dynamics exhibits the cutoff phenomenon at $\lambda_{\infty}^{-1}\log n$ with a window size $O(\log\log n)$.

We study the Swendsen-Wang dynamics for the $q$-state Potts model on the lattice. Introduced as an alternative algorithm of the classical single-site Glauber dynamics, the Swendsen-Wang dynamics is a

A new class of sparse spatial random graphs, seen as ‘planted-partition’ versions of the classical random connection graphs studied in Stochastic Geometry, is introduced and it is shown that if the intensity λ is sufficiently small, then there exists no algorithm that beats a random guess for the partition.
Universality of cutoff for exclusion with reservoirs
We consider the reversible exclusion process with reservoirs on arbitrary networks. We explicitly characterize the relaxation time, mixing time, and mixing window of the process, in terms of certain
Cutoff for non-negatively curved Markov chains
Discovered by Aldous, Diaconis and Shahshahani in the context of card shuffling, the cutoff phenomenon has since then been established for a variety of Markov chains. However, proving cutoff remains

On any locally-finite geometry, the stochastic Ising model is known to be contractive when the inverse-temperature ββ is small enough, via classical results of Dobrushin and of Holley in the 1970s.

This paper presents problems where the cutoff can be proved (card shuffling, the Ehrenfests' urn), and shows that chains with polynomial growth (drunkard's walk) do not show cutoffs.
