No, the writer should use "which" instead of "whom." It is also not clear what the "with a certain probability" clause refers to. |

The word "whom" is the objective form of "who" which is used in reference to persons. So unless the vertex is connected to a person, it is not correct to use it. The word "which" probably would be better. |

Removing the comma after graph shows that the "with a certain probability" clause refers to "it" jumping, and not to its connection to the "current vertex." Am I understanding that clause? Or you could try:
Apologies if I'm not understanding that final clause. |
