We consider the free boundary condition Gibbs measure of the Potts model on a random tree. We provide an explicit temperature interval below the ferromagnetic transition temperature for which this measure is extremal, improving older bounds of Mossel and Peres. In information theoretic language extremality of the Gibbs measure corresponds to non-reconstructability for symmetric q-ary channels. The bounds are optimal for the Ising model and appear to be close to what we conjecture to be the true values up to a factor of 0.0150 in the case q = 3 and 0.0365 for q = 4. Our proof uses an iteration of random boundary entropies from the outside of the tree to the inside, along with a symmetrization argument.
We study the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on trees where particles are generated at the root. Particles can only jump away from the root, and they jump from $x$ to $y$ at rate $r_{x,y}$ provided $y$ is empty. Starting from the
We give a criterion of the form Q(d)c(M)<1 for the non-reconstructability of tree-indexed q-state Markov chains obtained by broadcasting a signal from the root with a given transition matrix M. Here c(M) is an explicit function, which is convex over
The Maki-Thompson rumor model is defined by assuming that a population represented by a graph is subdivided into three classes of individuals; namely, ignorants, spreaders and stiflers. A spreader tells the rumor to any of its nearest ignorant neighb
In this paper we find a realization for the DB-boundary conditions, which imposes vanishing normal derivatives of the normal components of the D and B fields. The implementation of the DB boundary, requiring vanishing normal components of D and B, is
In the randomly-oriented Manhattan lattice, every line in $mathbb{Z}^d$ is assigned a uniform random direction. We consider the directed graph whose vertex set is $mathbb{Z}^d$ and whose edges connect nearest neighbours, but only in the direction fix
