Title: Perfect Matching in Product Graphs and in their Random Subgraphs

Abstract: For $t \in \mathbb{N}$ and every $i\in[t]$, let $H_i$ be a $d_i$-regular connected graph, with $1<|V(H_i)|\le C$ for some integer $C\ge 2$. Let $G=\square_{i=1}^tH_i$ be the Cartesian product of $H_1, \ldots, H_t$. We show that if $t\ge 5C\log_2C$ then $G$ contains a (nearly-)perfect matching.
Then, considering the random graph process on $G$, we generalise the result of Bollob\'as on the binary hypercube $Q^t$, showing that with high probability, the hitting times for minimum degree one, connectivity, and the existence of a (nearly-)perfect matching in the $G$-random-process are the same. We develop several tools which may be of independent interest in a more general setting of the typical existence of a perfect matching under percolation.
