Random perfect matchings in regular graphs

We prove that in all regular robust expanders $G$, every edge is asymptotically equally likely contained in a uniformly chosen perfect matching $M$. We also show that given any fixed matching or spanning regular graph $N$ in $G$, the random variable $|M\cap E(N)|$ is approximately Poisson distributed. This in particular confirms a conjecture and a question due to Spiro and Surya, and complements results due to Kahn and Kim who proved that in a regular graph every vertex is asymptotically equally likely contained in a uniformly chosen matching. Our proofs rely on the switching method and the fact that simple random walks mix rapidly in robust expanders.
