Abstract

We consider the stochastic difference equation ηk=ξkϕ(ηk1),    kZ\eta _k = \xi _k \phi (\eta _{k-1}), ~~~~ k \in \Z on a locally compact group GG where ξk\xi _k are given GG-valued random variables, ηk\eta _k are unknown GG-valued random variables and ϕ\phi is an automorphism of GG. This equation was considered by Tsirelson and Yor on one-dimensional torus. We consider the case when ξk\xi _k have a common law μ\mu and prove that if GG is a pointwise distal group and ϕ\phi is a distal automorphism of GG and if the equation has a solution, then extremal solutions of the equation are in one-one correspondence with points on the coset space K\GK\backslash G for some compact subgroup KK of GG such that μ\mu is supported on Kz=zϕ(K)Kz= z\phi (K) for any zz in the support of μ\mu. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solutions to the equation.
