Sensitivity of mixing times, an example

Probability 2021-05-13 v1

Abstract

We construct a family of growing finite bounded degree rooted graphs, GnG_n, in which the mixing time for simple random walk, starting at the root, is order logGn\log |G_n|. Yet after a quasi - isometry, the ratio of Gn|G_n| over the mixing time grows arbitrarily slow to infinity.
