We show that any randomised Monte Carlo distributed algorithm for the Lovasz local lemma requires $Omega(log log n)$ communication rounds, assuming that it finds a correct assignment with high probability. Our result holds even in the special case of $d = O(1)$, where $d$ is the maximum degree of the dependency graph. By prior work, there are distributed algorithms for the Lovasz local lemma with a running time of $O(log n)$ rounds in bounded-degree graphs, and the best lower bound before our work was $Omega(log^* n)$ rounds [Chung et al. 2014].

We present a poly $log log n$ time randomized CONGEST algorithm for a natural class of Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL) instances on constant degree graphs. This implies, among other things, that there are no LCL problems with randomized complexity between $
log n$ and poly $log log n$. Furthermore, we provide extensions to the network decomposition algorithms given in the recent breakthrough by Rozhon and Ghaffari [STOC2020] and the follow up by Ghaffari, Grunau, and Rozhon [SODA2021]. In particular, we show how to obtain a large distance separated weak network decomposition with a negligible dependency on the range of unique identifiers.
Let $Phi = (V, mathcal{C})$ be a constraint satisfaction problem on variables $v_1,dots, v_n$ such that each constraint depends on at most $k$ variables and such that each variable assumes values in an alphabet of size at most $[q]$. Suppose that eac
h constraint shares variables with at most $Delta$ constraints and that each constraint is violated with probability at most $p$ (under the product measure on its variables). We show that for $k, q = O(1)$, there is a deterministic, polynomial time algorithm to approximately count the number of satisfying assignments and a randomized, polynomial time algorithm to sample from approximately the uniform distribution on satisfying assignments, provided that [Ccdot q^{3}cdot k cdot p cdot Delta^{7} < 1, quad text{where }C text{ is an absolute constant.}] Previously, a result of this form was known essentially only in the special case when each constraint is violated by exactly one assignment to its variables. For the special case of $k$-CNF formulas, the term $Delta^{7}$ improves the previously best known $Delta^{60}$ for deterministic algorithms [Moitra, J.ACM, 2019] and $Delta^{13}$ for randomized algorithms [Feng et al., arXiv, 2020]. For the special case of properly $q$-coloring $k$-uniform hypergraphs, the term $Delta^{7}$ improves the previously best known $Delta^{14}$ for deterministic algorithms [Guo et al., SICOMP, 2019] and $Delta^{9}$ for randomized algorithms [Feng et al., arXiv, 2020].
We consider the task of designing Local Computation Algorithms (LCA) for applications of the Lov{a}sz Local Lemma (LLL). LCA is a class of sublinear algorithms proposed by Rubinfeld et al.~cite{Ronitt} that have received a lot of attention in recent
years. The LLL is an existential, sufficient condition for a collection of sets to have non-empty intersection (in applications, often, each set comprises all objects having a certain property). The ground-breaking algorithm of Moser and Tardos~cite{MT} made the LLL fully constructive, following earlier results by Beck~cite{beck_lll} and Alon~cite{alon_lll} giving algorithms under significantly stronger LLL-like conditions. LCAs under those stronger conditions were given in~cite{Ronitt}, where it was asked if the Moser-Tardos algorithm can be used to design LCAs under the standard LLL condition. The main contribution of this paper is to answer this question affirmatively. In fact, our techniques yield LCAs for settings beyond the standard LLL condition.
We develop tools for analyzing focused stochastic local search algorithms. These are algorithms which search a state space probabilistically by repeatedly selecting a constraint that is violated in the current state and moving to a random nearby stat
e which, hopefully, addresses the violation without introducing many new ones. A large class of such algorithms arise from the algorithmization of the Lovasz Local Lemma, a non-constructive tool for proving the existence of satisfying states. Here we give tools that provide a unified analysis of such algorithms and of many more, expressing them as instances of a general framework.
We study the problem of sampling an approximately uniformly random satisfying assignment for atomic constraint satisfaction problems i.e. where each constraint is violated by only one assignment to its variables. Let $p$ denote the maximum probabilit
y of violation of any constraint and let $Delta$ denote the maximum degree of the line graph of the constraints. Our main result is a nearly-linear (in the number of variables) time algorithm for this problem, which is valid in a Lovasz local lemma type regime that is considerably less restrictive compared to previous works. In particular, we provide sampling algorithms for the uniform distribution on: (1) $q$-colorings of $k$-uniform hypergraphs with $Delta lesssim q^{(k-4)/3 + o_{q}(1)}.$ The exponent $1/3$ improves the previously best-known $1/7$ in the case $q, Delta = O(1)$ [Jain, Pham, Vuong; arXiv, 2020] and $1/9$ in the general case [Feng, He, Yin; STOC 2021]. (2) Satisfying assignments of Boolean $k$-CNF formulas with $Delta lesssim 2^{k/5.741}.$ The constant $5.741$ in the exponent improves the previously best-known $7$ in the case $k = O(1)$ [Jain, Pham, Vuong; arXiv, 2020] and $13$ in the general case [Feng, He, Yin; STOC 2021]. (3) Satisfying assignments of general atomic constraint satisfaction problems with $pcdot Delta^{7.043} lesssim 1.$ The constant $7.043$ improves upon the previously best-known constant of $350$ [Feng, He, Yin; STOC 2021]. At the heart of our analysis is a novel information-percolation type argument for showing the rapid mixing of the Glauber dynamics for a carefully constructed projection of the uniform distribution on satisfying assignments. Notably, there is no natural partial order on the space, and we believe that the techniques developed for the analysis may be of independent interest.
