A product chain without cutoff

Probability 2014-12-01 v2

Abstract

In this note, we construct an example of a sequence of nn-fold product chains which does not display cutoff for total-variation distance neither for separation distance. In addition we show that this type of product chains necessarily displays pre-cutoff.
