Abstract
We show that on every Ramanujan graph , the simple random walk exhibits cutoff: when has vertices and degree , the total-variation distance of the walk from the uniform distribution at time is asymptotically where is a standard normal variable and is an explicit constant. Furthermore, for all , -regular Ramanujan graphs minimize the asymptotic -mixing time for SRW among all -regular graphs. Our proof also shows that, for every vertex in as above, its distance from of the vertices is asymptotically .
