Title
The mixing time of the giant component of a random graph
Abstract
AbstractWe show that the total variation mixing time of the simple random walk on the giant component of supercritical Gn,p and Gn,m is ï log2n. This statement was proved, independently, by Fountoulakis and Reed. Our proof follows from a structure result for these graphs which is interesting in its own right. We show that these graphs are "decorated expanders" - an expander glued to graphs whose size has constant expectation and exponential tail, and such that each vertex in the expander is glued to no more than a constant number of decorations. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
