Query: Find Your Place: Simple Distributed Algorithms for Community Detection   Given an underlying graph, we consider the following \emph{dynamics}:
Initially, each node locally chooses a value in $\{-1,1\}$, uniformly at random
and independently of other nodes. Then, in each consecutive round, every node
updates its local value to the average of the values held by its neighbors, at
the same time applying an elementary, local clustering rule that only depends
on the current and the previous values held by the node.
  We prove that the process resulting from this dynamics produces a clustering
that exactly or approximately (depending on the graph) reflects the underlying
cut in logarithmic time, under various graph models that exhibit a sparse
balanced cut, including the stochastic block model. We also prove that a
natural extension of this dynamics performs community detection on a
regularized version of the stochastic block model with multiple communities.
  Rather surprisingly, our results provide rigorous evidence for the ability of
an extremely simple and natural dynamics to address a computational problem
that is non-trivial even in a centralized setting.
