Minimax rates of community detection in stochastic block models (Q342688)

In the paper under review, the authors ``attempt to give a fundamental and unified understanding of the community detection problem for the stochastic block model''. Therefore, they ``provide a general minimax theory for community detection''. This paper should be highly judged by a competent discussion of the state of art. The mathematical analysis of the posed problem is very meticulous. All proofs are correct.
