Spectral gap for the zero range process with constant rate
Ben Morris
We solve an open problem concerning the relaxation time (inverse spectral gap) of the zero range process in with constant rate, proving a tight upper…

Evolving sets, mixing and heat kernel bounds
Ben Morris, Yuval Peres
We show that a new probabilistic technique, recently introduced by the first author, yields the sharpest bounds obtained to date on mixing times of Markov chains in terms of isoper…
