Cutoff for the Ising model throughout the rapidly-mixing regime on bounded-degree graphs
Establish total-variation cutoff for the Gibbs sampler (single-site update chain) of the Ising model on bounded-degree graphs throughout the entire rapidly-mixing regime (e.g., the tree uniqueness regime).

A natural but far-reaching conjecture, suggested by this breakthrough, is that cutoff should occur under the very same structural assumptions.
