In this survey we introduce these models, discuss their origins and main features, some existing tools available for their study, recent probabilistic results, and relations to other well-studied probabilistic models. Along the way we discuss some of the (many) open questions that remain.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-09-06T16:07:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin systems", "hyperbolic symmetry", "anderson metal-insulator transition", "open questions", "random forests" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
