It is recently proved by Lubetzky and Peres that the simple random walk on a Ramanujan graph exhibits a cutoff phenomenon, that is to say, the total variation distance of the random walk distribution from the uniform distribution drops…

Recently Lubetzky and Peres showed that simple random walks on a sequence of $d$-regular Ramanujan graphs $G_n=(V_n,E_n)$ of increasing sizes exhibit cutoff in total variation around the diameter lower bound $\frac{d}{d-2}\log_{d-1}|V_n| $.…

The cutoff phenomenon was recently confirmed for random walks on Ramanujan graphs by the first author and Peres. In this work, we obtain analogs in higher dimensions, for random walk operators on any Ramanujan complex associated with a…

The cutoff phenomenon describes a sharp transition in the convergence of a family of ergodic finite Markov chains to equilibrium. Many natural families of chains are believed to exhibit cutoff, and yet establishing this fact is often…

The total-variation cutoff phenomenon has been conjectured to hold for simple random walk on all transitive expanders. However, very little is actually known regarding this conjecture, and cutoff on sparse graphs in general. In this paper…

Families of symmetric simple random walks on Cayley graphs of Abelian groups with a bound on the number of generators are shown to never have sharp cut off in the sense of [1], [3], or [5]. Here convergence to the stationary distribution is…

We show that on every Ramanujan graph $G$, the simple random walk exhibits cutoff: when $G$ has $n$ vertices and degree $d$, the total-variation distance of the walk from the uniform distribution at time $t=\frac{d}{d-2}\log_{d-1} n +…

In this paper we study the common distance between points and the behavior of a constant length step discrete random walk on finite area hyperbolic surfaces. We show that if the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian is at least 1/4,…

For each $n,r \geq 0$, let $KG(n,r)$ denote the Kneser Graph; that whose vertices are labeled by $r$-element subsets of $n$, and whose edges indicate that the corresponding subsets are disjoint. Fixing $r$ and allowing $n$ to vary, one…

We prove that the non-backtracking random walk on Ramanujan graphs with large girth exhibits the fastest possible cutoff with a bounded window.

A finite ergodic Markov chain is said to exhibit cutoff if its distance to stationarity remains close to 1 over a certain number of iterations and then abruptly drops to near 0 on a much shorter time scale. Discovered in the context of card…

We prove that a simple random walk on quasi-transitive graphs with the volume growth being faster than any polynomial of degree 4 has a.s. infinitely many cut times, and hence infinitely many cutpoints. This confirms a conjecture raised by…

The cutoff phenomenon describes a sharp transition in the convergence of an ergodic finite Markov chain to equilibrium. Of particular interest is understanding this convergence for the simple random walk on a bounded-degree expander graph.…

The cutoff phenomenon for an ergodic Markov chain describes a sharp transition in the convergence to its stationary distribution, over a negligible period of time, known as cutoff window. We study the cutoff phenomenon for simple random…

We consider a variant of the configuration model with an embedded community structure and study the mixing properties of a simple random walk on it. Every vertex has an internal $\mathrm{deg}^{\text{int}}\geq 3$ and an outgoing…

We prove a general theorem on cutoffs for symmetric exclusion and interchange processes on finite graphs $G_N=(V_N,E_N)$, under the assumption that either the graphs converge geometrically and spectrally to a compact metric measure space,…

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 derive upper and lower bounds on the convergence behavior of certain classes of one-parameter quantum dynamical semigroups. The classes we consider consist of tensor product channels and of channels with commuting Liouvillians. We…

We investigate the mixing properties of a model of reversible Markov chains in random environment, which notably contains the simple random walk on the superposition of a deterministic graph and a second graph whose vertex set has been…

We propose two new spectral measures for graphs and networks which characterize the ratios between the width of the "bulk" part of the spectrum and the spectral gap, as well as the ratio between spectral length and the width of the "bulk"…
