Abstract

We show that for every integer (Formula presented.) and large (Formula presented.), every properly edge-colored graph on (Formula presented.) vertices with at least (Formula presented.) edges contains a rainbow subdivision of (Formula presented.). This is sharp up to a polylogarithmic factor. Our proof method exploits the connection between the mixing time of random walks and expansion in graphs.
