Geometric Properties of Satisfying Assignments of random $epsilon$-1-in-k SAT

We study the geometric structure of the set of solutions of random $epsilon$-1-in-k SAT problem. For $l geq 1$, two satisfying assignments $A$ and $B$ are $l$-connected if there exists a sequence of satisfying assignments connecting them by changing at most $l$ bits at a time. We first identify a subregion of the satisfiable phase where the set of solutions provably forms one cluster. Next we provide a range of parameters $(c,epsilon)$ such that
