Mixing time bounds for oriented kinetically constrained spin models

Abstract:

We analyze the mixing time of a class of oriented kinetically constrained spin models (KCMs) on a d-dimensional lattice of $n^d$ sites. A typical example is the North-East model, a 0-1 spin system on the two-dimensional integer lattice that evolves according to the following rule: whenever a site's southerly and westerly nearest neighbours have spin 0, with rate one it resets its own spin by tossing a p-coin, at all other times its spin remains frozen. Such models are very popular in statisti...
