Reconstruction for the Potts model

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The reconstruction problem on the tree has been studied in numerous contexts including statistical physics, information theory and computational biology. However, rigorous reconstruction thresholds have only been established in a small number of models. We prove the first exact reconstruction threshold in a non-binary model establishing the Kesten-Stigum bound for the 3-state Potts model on regular trees of large degree. We further establish that the Kesten-Stigum bound is not tight for the q-state Potts model when qgeq5. Moreover, we determine asymptotics for the reconstruction thresholds.
