A power law of order 1/4 for critical mean field Swendsen-Wang dynamics /

The Swendsen-Wang dynamics is a Markov chain widely used by physicists to sample from the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution of the Ising model. Cooper, Dyer, Frieze and Rue proved that on the complete graph K_n the mixing time of the chain is at most O(\sqrt{n}) for all non-critical temperatures. In this...
