On the unbalanced cut problem and the generalized Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model (Q2031482)

Summary: We establish a strict asymptotic inequality between a class of graph partition problems on the sparse Erdős-Rényi and random regular graph ensembles with the same average degree. Along the way, we establish a variational representation for the ground state energy for generalized mixed \(p\)-spin glasses and derive strict comparison inequalities for such models as the alphabet changes.
