About this paper

Xiongxin Yang

The authors analyze heat-bath Glauber dynamics for uniformly sampling proper graph colorings, where a vertex is recolored with a legal color. Their Bochner-type proof uses hard-core models hidden in color classes to control the chain’s spectral gap. For fixed γ>0 and sufficiently large maximum degree Δ, the gap is at least κγ/n when q≥(1+1/e+γ)Δ; this does not establish γ=0.
