The Swendsen-Wang dynamics is an MCMC sampler of the Ising/Potts model, which recolors many vertices at once based on the random-cluster representation of the model. Although widely used in practice due to efficiency, the mixing time of the Swendsen-Wang dynamics is far from being well-understood, mainly because of its non-local behavior. In this talk, we prove cutoff phenomenon for the Swendsen-Wang dynamics on the lattice at high enough temperatures, meaning that the Markov chain exhibits a sharp transition from mixed€ to well-mixed.

Joint work with Allan Sly.
