Abstract
We consider a non-elementary group action of a locally compact second countable group on a possibly exotic non-discrete affine building of type . We prove that if is an admissible symmetric probability measure on , there is a unique -stationary measure supported on the chambers of the spherical building at infinity. We use this result to study random walks induced by the -action, and we prove that if has finite second moment, converges almost surely to a regular point of the boundary and the Lyapunov spectrum of the random walk is simple. Applied to Bruhat-Tits buildings, these results extend some classical theorems due to H.~Furstenberg.
