Random walks on dyadic-valued solvable matrix groups

Group Theory 2017-04-27 v2

Abstract

This paper is concerned with random walks on a family of dyadic-valued solvable matrix groups. A description of the Poisson boundary of these groups for probability measures of finite first moment and non-zero displacements (or drifts) is given. When non-trivial, the boundary may be identified with a space of matrices with real and 2-adic entries, depending on the values in a displacement matrix associated with the random walk. Conditions for boundary triviality are also discussed.
