Kozma's rough-isometry conjecture for mixing times
Let and be finite graphs that are -roughly isometric, and suppose both have maximal degree at most . Denote by and the mixing times of simple random walk on and , respectively. Kozma's conjecture. There exists a constant such that
The conjecture asserts robustness of mixing time under rough isometries for bounded-degree finite graphs. The supplied context does not indicate whether it has been proved or disproved.
