Rapid mixing of graph switches for every degree sequence

Resolves the simple-undirected Kannan–Tetali–Vempala conjecture: the lazy edge-switch chain mixes in O(n8)O(n^8) time for every graphical labeled degree sequence. The same degree-constrained graphs can also be sampled exactly uniformly by an almost-surely terminating algorithm with expected polynomial bit running time.
