Statistical physics on sparse random graphs: A mathematical perspective

Statistical Physics and Computation: Boltzmann-Gibbs distributions, factor models and Constraint Satisfaction Problems. Average complexity, ground states and sparse random graph ensembles. Locally tree-like graphs, Bethe-Peierls prediction and Belief Propagation equations. Amir DEMBO

Course Description
Theoretical models of disordered materials yield precise predictions about the typical complexity of certain combinatorial optimization problems. The underlying common structure is that of many discrete variables, whose interaction is represented by a random ‘tree like’ sparse graph. I will survey recent progress in proving such predictions, the related insights gained from it, and certain interesting connections with spin-glass models, random matrices and extremal graphs.
