A Note on Isolating Cut Lemma for Submodular Function Minimization

It has been observed independently by many researchers that the isolating cut lemma of Li and Panigrahi [FOCS 2020] can be easily extended to obtain new algorithms for finding the non-trivial minimizer of a symmetric submodular function and solving the hypergraph minimum cut problem. This note contains these observations.
