Abstract

In this paper we study random walks on a finitely generated group GG which has a free action on a Zn\mathbb{Z}^n-tree. We show that if GG is non-abelian and acts minimally, freely and without inversions on a locally finite Zn\mathbb{Z}^n-tree Γ\Gamma with the set of open ends Ends(Γ){\rm Ends}(\Gamma), then for every non-degenerate probability measure μ\mu on GG there exists a unique μ\mu-stationary probability measure νμ\nu_\mu on Ends(Γ){\rm Ends}(\Gamma), and the space (Ends(Γ),νμ)({\rm Ends}(\Gamma), \nu_\mu) is a μ\mu-boundary. Moreover, if μ\mu has finite first moment with respect to the word metric on GG (induced by a finite generating set), then the measure space (Ends(Γ),νμ)({\rm Ends}(\Gamma), \nu_\mu) is isomorphic to the Poisson--Furstenberg boundary of (G,μ)(G, \mu).
