Macroscopic cycles for the interchange and quantum Heisenberg models on random regular graphs

Abstract

The interchange process is a random permutation model that was introduced as a way to study the quantum Heisenberg model. For this model, progress had been made on some specific graphs: trees, the hypercube, the Hamming graph, the complete graph and the two block graph. Here we show that for large enough parameters, both the interchange process and the quantum Heisenberg model have macroscopic clusters on random d-regular graphs. Such a result was only known for the complete graph and the two blocks graph.
