Abstract

We plan to describe some recent results on counting and

sampling independent sets using the markov chain approach. Both
positive and negative results will be discussed. The talk is
based on the recent works of Luby, Vigoda, Dyer, Frieze and
Jerrum. Further talks on sampling colorings and possibly
triangulations is also planned.
