Sensitivity of mixing times, an example

Abstract

We construct a family of growing finite bounded degree rooted graphs, Gn, in which the mixing time for simple random walk, starting at the root, is order |Gn|. Yet after a quasi - isometry, the ratio of |Gn| over the mixing time grows arbitrarily slow to infinity.
