Ratio limits and Martin boundary

Probability 2022-06-10 v1

Abstract

Consider an irreducible Markov chain which satisfies a ratio limit theorem, and let ρ\rho be the spectral radius of the chain. We investigate the relation of the the ρ\rho\,-Martin boundary with the boundary induced by the ρ\rho\,-harmonic kernel which appears in the ratio limit. Special emphasis is on random walks on non-amenable groups, specifically, free groups and hyperbolic groups.
