For finitely supported random walks on finitely generated groups $G$ we prove that the identity map on $G$ extends to a continuous equivariant surjection from the Martin boundary to the Floyd boundary, with preimages of conical points being…

Random walk on the set of irreducible representations of a finite group is investigated. For the symmetric and general linear groups, a sharp convergence rate bound is obtained and a cutoff phenomenon is proved. As related results, an…

We construct a one-to-one continuous map from the Morse boundary of a hierarchically hyperbolic group to its Martin boundary. This construction is based on deviation inequalities generalizing Ancona's work on hyperbolic groups. This…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group acting on a geodesic Gromov-hyperbolic metric space $X$ and $\mu$ a probability measure on $\Gamma$ whose support generates a non-elementary subsemigroup. Under the assumption that $\mu$ has a finite…

We prove that if a proper metric space is quasi-isometric to a finitely generated group and to a space with a horoball over a finitely generated group, then that space is quasi-isometric to a rank-one symmetric space or the real line.

Random walkers absorbing on a boundary sample the Harmonic Measure linearly and independently: we discuss how the recurrence times between impacts enable non-linear moments of the measure to be estimated. From this we derive a new technique…

We bound the rate of convergence to uniformity for certain random walks on the complete monomial groups G \wr S_n for any group G. These results provide rates of convergence for random walks on a number of groups of interest: the…

We study fine structure related to finitely supported random walks on infinite finitely generated discrete groups, largely motivated by dimension group techniques. The unfaithful extreme harmonic functions (defined only on proper space-time…

We study properties of the harmonic measure of balls in typical large discrete trees. For a ball of radius $n$ centered at the root, we prove that, although the size of the boundary is of order $n$, most of the harmonic measure is supported…

We study mean value properties of harmonic functions in metric measure spaces. The metric measure spaces we consider have a doubling measure and support a (1,1)- Poincar\'e inequality. The notion of harmonicity is based on the Dirichlet…

Persistent random walks are intermediate transport processes between a uniform rectilinear motion and a Brownian motion. They are formed by successive steps of random finite lengths and directions travelled at a fixed speed. The isotropic…

We investigate three aspects of weak* convergence of the $n$-step distributions of random walks on finite volume homogeneous spaces $G/\Gamma$ of semisimple real Lie groups. First, we look into the obvious obstruction to the upgrade from…

We prove a general criterion for a metric space to have conformal dimension one. The conditions are stated in terms of the existence of enough local cut points in the space. We then apply this criterion to the boundaries of hyperbolic…

We show the existence of a trace process at infinity for random walks on hyperbolic groups of conformal dimension < 2 and relate it to the existence of a reflecting random walk. To do so, we employ the theory of Dirichlet forms which…

In this paper, we present a new technique for studying the dynamics of a finitely generated rational semigroup. Such a semigroup can be associated naturally to a certain holomorphic correspondence on $\mathbb{P}^1$. Then, results on the…

In this paper we extend the construction of random walks with a prescribed Poisson boundary to the case of measures in the class of a generalized Gibbs state. The price for dropping the $\alpha$-quasiconformal assumptions is that we must…

We prove that the dimension of the harmonic measure of the complementary of a translation-invariant type of Cantor sets as a continuous function of the parameters determining these sets. This results extend a previous one of the author and…

We define metrics in space that are natural counterparts of the hyperbolic metric in plane domains, using the characterization of the hyperbolic metric due to Beardon and Pommerenke. We obtain inequalities for these metrics under…

We study the topological dynamics of the action of an acylindrically hyperbolic group on the space of its infinite index convex cocompact subgroups by conjugation. We show that, for any suitable probability measure $\mu$, random walks with…

We study asymptotic properties of the Green metric associated with transient random walks on countable groups. We prove that the rate of escape of the random walk computed in the Green metric equals its asymptotic entropy. The proof relies…
