Spatial and Rapid Mixing on Lattice Graphs

In this thesis we consider the anti-ferromagnetic Potts model on lattice graphs. A spin system under this model is characterised by an underlying connected graph and two parameters: q, the number of spins, and), = exp(-f3), where f3 is the 'inverse temperature'. 1\vo questions of interest...
