Abstract

In the present paper, we determine the full spectrum of the simple random walk on finite, complete d-ary trees. We also find an eigenbasis for the transition matrix. As an application, we apply our results to get a lower bound for the interchange process on complete, finite d-ary trees, which we conjecture to be sharp.
