Sublinear deviation between geodesics and sample paths

G Tiozzo - 2015 - projecteuclid.org
We give a proof of the sublinear tracking property for sample paths of random walks on
various groups acting on spaces with hyperbolic-like properties. As an application, we prove …

Poisson boundaries of lamplighter groups: proof of the Kaimanovich–Vershik conjecture

R Lyons, Y Peres - J. Eur. Math. Soc.(JEMS), 2021 - ems.press
We answer positively a question of Kaimanovich and Vershik from 1979, showing that the
final configuration of lamps for simple random walk on the lamplighter group over Zd (d≥ 3) …

The Poisson boundary of wreath products

J Frisch, E Silva - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.10160, 2023 - arxiv.org
We give a complete description of the Poisson boundary of wreath products $ A\wr
B=\bigoplus_ {B} A\rtimes B $ of countable groups $ A $ and $ B $, for probability measures …

Poisson-Furstenberg boundaries, large-scale geometry and growth of groups

A Erschler - Proceedings of the International Congress of …, 2010 - World Scientific
We give a survey of recent results on the Poisson-Furstenberg boundaries of random walks
on groups, and their applications. We describe sufficient conditions for random walk to have …

Resistance boundaries of infinite networks

PET Jorgensen, EPJ Pearse - Random walks, boundaries and spectra, 2011 - Springer
A resistance network is a connected graph (G, c). The conductance function c_ xy weights
the edges, which are then interpreted as conductors of possibly varying strengths. The …

The boundary of a square tiling of a graph coincides with the Poisson boundary

A Georgakopoulos - Inventiones mathematicae, 2016 - Springer
Answering a question of Benjamini and Schramm (Ann Probab 24 (3): 1219–1238, 1996),
we show that the Poisson boundary of any planar, uniquely absorbing (eg one-ended and …

Poisson–Furstenberg boundary of random walks on wreath products and free metabelian groups

A Erschler - Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici, 2010 - ems.press
Abstract We study the Poisson–Furstenberg boundary of random walks on C= A≀ B, where
A= ℤd and B is a finitely generated group having at least 2 elements. We show that for d≥ 5 …

The Poisson boundary of lampshuffler groups

E Silva - Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2024 - Springer
We study random walks on the lampshuffler group FSym (H)⋊ H, where H is a finitely
generated group and FSym (H) is the group of finitary permutations of H. We show that for …

Furstenberg entropy realizations for virtually free groups and lamplighter groups

Y Hartman, O Tamuz - Journal d'Analyse Mathématique, 2015 - Springer
Let (G, µ) be a discrete group with a generating probability measure. Nevo showed that if G
has Kazhdan's property (T), then there exists ɛ> 0 such that the Furstenberg entropy of any …

Thompson's group F is not Liouville

VA Kaimanovich - Groups, Graphs and Random Walks, London …, 2017 - books.google.com
We prove that random walks on Thompson's group F driven by strictly non-degenerate
finitely supported probability measures μ have a nontrivial Poisson boundary. The proof …
