Abstract

We study random walks on relatively hyperbolic groups whose law is convergent, in the sense that the derivative of its Green function is finite at the spectral radius.When parabolic subgroups are virtually abelian, we prove that for such a random walk satisfies a local limit theorem of the form pn(e,e)CRnnd/2p_n(e, e)\sim CR^{-n}n^{-d/2}, where pn(e,e)p_n(e, e) is the probability of returning to the origin at time nn, RR is the inverse of the spectral radius of the random walk and dd is the minimal rank of a parabolic subgroup along which the random walk is spectrally degenerate.This concludes the classification all possible behaviour for pn(e,e)p_n(e, e) on such groups.
