  • Description: Let [Unrepresented Character]₁ denote the largest connected component of the critical Erdős-Rényi random graph $G(n, \frac{1}{n})$. We show that, typically, the diameter of [Unrepresented Character]₁ is of order $n^\sfrac{1}{3}$ and the mixing time of the lazy simple random walk on [Unrepresented Character]₁ is of order n. The latter answers a question of Benjamini, Kozma and Wormald. These results extend to clusters of size $n^\sfrac{2}{3}$ of p-bond percolation on any d-regular n-vertex graph where such clusters exist, provided that $p(d-1) \lesseqgtr 1 + O(n^\sfrac{-1}{3})$.
