Much of the recent work on random constraint satisfaction problems has been inspired by
ingenious but non-rigorous approaches from physics. The physics predictions typically come
in the form of distributional fixed point problems that are intended to mimic Belief
Propagation, a message passing algorithm, applied to the random CSP. In this paper we
propose a novel method for harnessing Belief Propagation directly to obtain a rigorous proof
of such a prediction, namely the existence and location of a condensation phase transition in …
