We prove expectation and concentration results for the following random variables on an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $\mathcal{G}\left(n,p\right)$ in the sparsely connected regime $\log n + \log\log \log n \leq np < n^{1/10}$: effective…

We consider two random walks evolving synchronously on a random out-regular graph of $n$ vertices with bounded out-degree $r\ge 2$, also known as a random Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA). We show that, with high probability with…

The Diaconis--Gangolli random walk is an algorithm that generates an almost uniform random graph with prescribed degrees. In this paper, we study the mixing time of the Diaconis--Gangolli random walk restricted on $n\times n$ contingency…

We study the mixing time of random walks on small-world networks modelled as follows: starting with the 2-dimensional periodic grid, each pair of vertices $\{u,v\}$ with distance $d>1$ is added as a "long-range" edge with probability…

In this paper we present a study of the mixing time of a random walk on the largest component of a supercritical random graph, also known as the giant component. We identify local obstructions that slow down the random walk, when the…

We consider Activated Random Walks on arbitrary finite networks, with particles being inserted at random and absorbed at the boundary. Despite the non-reversibility of the dynamics and the lack of knowledge on the stationary distribution,…

We consider a random geometric graph obtained by placing a Poisson point process of intensity 1 in the d-dimensional torus of side length n^(1/d) and connecting two points by an edge if their distance is at most r. We consider the case of…

Random walks on graphs are an essential primitive for many randomised algorithms and stochastic processes. It is natural to ask how much can be gained by running $k$ multiple random walks independently and in parallel. Although the cover…

A simple random walk on a graph is a sequence of movements from one vertex to another where at each step an edge is chosen uniformly at random from the set of edges incident on the current vertex, and then transitioned to next vertex.…

Consider the random Cayley graph of a finite group $G$ with respect to $k$ generators chosen uniformly at random, with $1 \ll \log k \ll \log |G|$ (ie $1 \ll k = |G|^{o(1)}$). A conjecture of Aldous and Diaconis (1985) asserts, for…

For a finite graph $G=(V,E)$ let $G^*$ be obtained by considering a random perfect matching of $V$ and adding the corresponding edges to $G$ with weight $\varepsilon$, while assigning weight 1 to the original edges of $G$. We consider…

This paper explores the mixing time of the random transposition walk on permutations with one-sided interval restrictions. In particular, we're interested in the notion of cutoff, a phenomenon which occurs when mixing occurs in a window of…

We consider a random walk on the hyperoctahedral group $B_n$ generated by the signed permutations of the forms $(i,n)$ and $(-i,n)$ for $1\leq i\leq n$. We call this the flip-transpose top with random shuffle on $B_n$. We find the spectrum…

We establish cutoff for a natural random walk (RW) on the set of perfect matchings (PMs). An $n$-PM is a pairing of $2n$ objects. The $k$-PM RW selects $k$ pairs uniformly at random, disassociates the corresponding $2k$ objects, then…

The fundamental problem of sampling from the limiting distribution of quantum walks on networks, known as \emph{mixing}, finds widespread applications in several areas of quantum information and computation. Of particular interest in most…

A survey is presented of known results concerning simple random walk on the class of distance-regular graphs. One of the highlights is that electric resistance and hitting times between points can be explicitly calculated and given strong…

A finite ergodic Markov chain exhibits cutoff if its distance to equilibrium remains close to its initial value over a certain number of iterations and then abruptly drops to near 0 on a much shorter time scale. Originally discovered in the…

We consider the random walk on the hypercube which moves by picking an ordered pair $(i,j)$ of distinct coordinates uniformly at random and adding the bit at location $i$ to the bit at location $j$, modulo $2$. We show that this Markov…

We consider the Random-Cluster model on $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})^d$ with parameters $p \in (0,1)$ and $q\ge 1$. This is a generalization of the standard bond percolation (with open probability $p$) which is biased by a factor $q$ raised to…

We study the mixing time of the Rook's Walk Markov chain on a $d$-dimensional chess board of side length $n\geq 3$, where a rook moves by first selecting an axis uniformly at random and then selecting a new position along that axis…
