Together with Marc Mézard, I am writing a book. It should be an introduction to a rich and rapidly evolving research field at the interface between statistical physics, theretical computer science/discrete mathematics, and coding/information theory. It should be accessible to graduate students an researchers without specific training in any of these three fields.
                                
                 


                 
                 
We are currently in the process of revising it, and is expected to be published in early 2009 by Oxford University Press. The (ambitious) title is `Information, Physics and Computation.'
  • Part A: Basics.
  • Part B: Independent states.
  • Part C: Graphical models and factor graphs.
  • Part D: Belief propagation and its applications.
  • Part E: Glassy phases, clustering transition and all that.
  • Part F: Notations, references.
Comments, suggestions, corrections are extremely welcome!
