It is a fact simple to establish that the mixing time of the simple random walk on a d-regular graph Gn with n vertices is asymptotically bounded from below by d d−2 log n log(d−1) . Such a bound is obtained by comparing the walk on Gn to the walk on d-regular tree T d . If one can map another transitive graph G onto Gn, then we can improve the strategy by using a comparison with the random walk on G (instead of that of T d ), and we obtain a lower bound of the form 1 h log n, where h is the entropy rate associated with G. We call this the entropic lower bound. It was recently proved that in the case G = T d , this entropic lower bound (in that case d d−2 log n log(d−1) )is sharp when graphs have minimal spectral radius and thus that in that case the random walk exhibit cutoff at the entropic time. In this paper, we provide a generalization of the result by providing a sufficient condition on the spectra the random walks on Gn under which the random walk exhibit cutoff at the entropic time. It applies notably to anisotropic random walks on random d-regular graphs and to random walks on random n-lifts of a base graph.
