Carne--Varopoulos bounds for centered random walks

Probability 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We extend the Carne--Varopoulos upper bound on the probability transitions of a Markov chain to a certain class of nonreversible processes by introducing the definition of a ``centering measure.'' In the case of random walks on a group, we study the connections between different notions of centering.
