Abstract

Consider a simple random walk on a realization of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph. Assume that it is asymptotically almost surely (a.a.s.) connected. Conditional on an eigenvector delocalization conjecture, we prove a Central Limit Theorem (CLT) for the average target hitting time. By the latter we mean the expected time it takes the random walk on average to first hit a vertex jj when starting in a fixed vertex ii. The average is taken with respect to πi\pi_i, the invariant measure of the random walk.
