Replica symmetry in upper tails of mean-field hypergraphs. (English) Zbl 1434.60050

Summary: Given a sequence of \(s\)-uniform hypergraphs \(\{H_n\}_{n\geq 1}\), denote by \(T_p( H_n)\) the number of edges in the random induced hypergraph obtained by including every vertex in \(H_n\) independently with probability \(p \in(0, 1)\). Recent advances in the large deviations of low complexity non-linear functions of independent Bernoulli variables can be used to show that tail probabilities of \(T_p(H_n)\) are precisely approximated by the so-called ‘mean-field’ variational problem, under certain assumptions on the sequence \(\{H_n\}_{n\geq 1}\). In this paper, we study properties of this variational problem for the upper tail of \(T_p(H_n)\), assuming that the mean-field approximation holds. In particular, we show that the variational problem has a universal replica symmetric phase (where it is uniquely minimized by a constant function), for any sequence of regular s-uniform hypergraphs, which depends only on \(s\). We also analyze the associated variational problem for the related problem of estimating subgraph frequencies in a converging sequence of dense graphs. Here, the variational problems themselves have a limit which can be expressed in terms of the limiting graphon, which gives the exact Bahadur slope of the corresponding estimate.
