Abstract

We give formulas, in terms of the number of pure k-cycles, for the expected hitting times between vertices at distances greater than 1 for random walks on edge-transitive graphs, extending our prior results for neighboring vertices and also extending results of Devroye-Sbihi and Biggs concerning distance-regular graphs. We apply these formulas to a class of Cayley graphs and give explicit values for the expected hitting times.
