  Abstract: We discuss the existence of random perfect matchings in Cayley graphs whose distribution is translation invariant. In particular we show that for non-amenable groups such a matching can be constructed as a "factor of IID". This can also be generalized in the context of measurable graphs. The key step of the construction is to show that a partial matching in a large finite expander has short augmenting paths.
