Consider a reversible markov chain Xn whose steady state distribution is known, can we find the expected hitting time to a subset A of the states starting from some state i ? Additionally you can assume the the chain has no self transitions.

    What's wrong with the usual approach for finding expected hitting times in a (not necessarily reversible) Markov chain? See http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/MeanHittingTime.html2011-01-19
