Abstract
The global first passage time density of a network is the probability that a random walker released at a random site arrives at an absorbing trap at time T. We find simple expressions for the mean global first passage time <T> for five fractals. We also find an exact expression for the second moment <T^2> and show that the variance of the first passage time, Var(T), scales with the number of nodes within the fractal N such that Var(T) ~ N^(4/\bar{d}), where \bar{d} is the spectral dimension.
