random variable that counts the number of steps
from $X$ until we reach a configuration where
$\ell$ is fair. More formally
-$$S_{X,\ell}=\min \{t \geq 1\mid h(X_{t-1})\neq \ell\text{ and }Z_t=(\ell,.)\text{ and } X_0=X\}.$$
+\[
+\begin{array}{rcl}
+S_{X,\ell}&=&\min \{t \geq 1\mid h(X_{t-1})\neq \ell\text{ and }Z_t=(\ell,.) \\
+&& \qquad \text{ and } X_0=X\}.
+\end{array}
+\]
% We denote by
% $$\lambda_h=\max_{X,\ell} S_{X,\ell}.$$
since $S_{X,\ell}$ is positive, it is known~\cite[lemma 2.9]{proba}, that
$$E[S_{X,\ell}]=\sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq i).$$
Since $\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq i)\geq \P(S_{X,\ell}\geq i+1)$, one has
-$$E[S_{X,\ell}]=\sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq i)\leq
-\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq 1)+\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq 2)+2 \sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq 2i).$$
+\[
+\begin{array}{rcl}
+ E[S_{X,\ell}]&=&\sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq i)\\
+&\leq&
+\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq 1) +\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq 2)\\
+&& \qquad +2 \sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq 2i).
+\end{array}
+\]
Consequently,
$$E[S_{X,\ell}]\leq 1+1+2
\sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\left(1-\frac{1}{4{\mathsf{N}}^2}\right)^i=2+2(4{\mathsf{N}}^2-1)=8{\mathsf{N}}^2,$$
