β¦ Synopsis
We provide the discrete cube Q N = -1 1 N with its uniform probability, and we consider an independent sequence ΞΎ 1 ΞΎ N uniformly distributed on Q N . Kim and Roche recently proved that there exists Ξ΅ > 0 such that the probability that there exists (resp. does not exist) a point x of Q N with ΞΎ k β’ x β₯ 0 for all k β€ Ξ΅N (resp. k β€ 1 -Ξ΅ N goes to 1 (resp. 0) as N β β. We use ideas from statistical mechanics to provide simpler proofs of stronger results.

Let Q n be the (hyper)cube [&1, 1] n . This paper is concerned with the following question: How many vectors must be chosen uniformly and independently at random from Q n before every vector in Q n itself has negative inner product with at least one of the random vectors? For any fixed =>0, a simple
