Abstract: We study the contact process on the complete graph on $n$ vertices where the rate at which the infection travels along the edge connecting vertices $i$ and $j$ is equal to $lambda{w}_i{w}_j/n$ for some $lambda>0$, where $w_i$ are i.i.d. vertex weights. We show that when $E[w_1^2]<infty$ there is a phase transition at $lambd{a}_c>0$ so that for $lambda<lambd{a}_c$ the contact process dies out in logarithmic time, and for $lambda>lambd{a}_c$ the contact process lives for an exponential amount of time. Moreover, we give a formula for $lambd{a}_c$ and when $lambda>lambd{a}_c$ we are able to give precise approximations for the probability a given vertex is infected in the quasi-stationary distribution. Our results are consistent with a non-rigorous mean-field analysis of the model. This is in contrast to some recent results for the contact process on power law random graphs where the mean-field calculations suggested that $lambd{a}_c>0$ when in fact $lambd{a}_c=0$.
