Long range random walks and associated geometries on groups of polynomial growth

Probability 2022-07-26 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

In the context of countable groups of polynomial volume growth, we consider a large class of random walks that are allowed to take long jumps along multiple subgroups according to power law distributions. For such a random walk, we study the large time behavior of its probability of return at time nn in terms of the key parameters describing the driving measure and the structure of the underlying group. We obtain assorted estimates including near-diagonal two-sided estimates and the H\"older continuity of the solutions of the associated discrete parabolic difference equation. In each case, these estimates involve the construction of a geometry adapted to the walk.
