The Poisson boundary of a finite direct product of affine automorphism groups of homogeneous trees is considered. The Poisson boundary is shown to be a product of ends of trees with a hitting measure for spread-out, aperiodic measures of…

We define the Furstenberg boundary of a locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid, generalising the Furstenberg boundary for discrete groups, by providing a construction of a groupoid-equivariant injective envelope. Using this injective…

The group of affine transformations with rational coefficients acts naturally on the real line, but also on the $p$-adic fields. The aim of this note is to show that, for random walks whose laws have a finite first moment, all these actions…

Given a free unitary quantum group $G=A_u(F)$, with $F$ not a unitary $2$-by-$2$ matrix, we show that the Martin boundary of the dual of $G$ with respect to any $G$-$\hat G$-invariant, irreducible, finite range quantum random walk coincides…

Let $\Gamma$ be a dense countable subgroup of a locally compact continuous group $G$. Take a probability measure $\mu$ on $\Gamma$. There are two natural spaces of harmonic functions: the space of $\mu$-harmonic functions on the countable…

We show that the Poisson boundary of random walks of finite entropy on Zariski-dense discrete subgroups of semisimple Lie groups equals the Furstenberg boundary of the corresponding symmetric spaces equipped with the hitting measure,…

We show that for any countable group $ G $ equipped with a probability measure $ \mu $, there exists a randomized stopping time $ \tau $ such that $ (G, \mu _{\tau} )$ admits a strictly larger space of bounded harmonic functions than $…

We give a complete description of the Poisson boundary of wreath products $A\wr B= \bigoplus_{B} A\rtimes B$ of countable groups $A$ and $B$, for probability measures $\mu$ with finite entropy where lamp configurations stabilize almost…

We develop a quantum duality principle for coisotropic subgroups of a (formal) Poisson group and its dual: namely, starting from a quantum coisotropic subgroup (for a quantization of a given Poisson group) we provide functorial recipes to…

We show under weak hypotheses that $\partial X$, the Roller boundary of a finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex $X$ is the Furstenberg-Poisson boundary of a sufficiently nice random walk on an acting group $\Gamma$. In particular, we show…

We study the quantum isometry groups of the noncommutative Riemannian manifolds associated to discrete group duals. The basic representation theory problem is to compute the law of the main character of the relevant quantum group, and our…

We introduce Poisson boundaries of II$_1$ factors with respect to density operators that give the traces. The Poisson boundary is a von Neumann algebra that contains the II$_1$ factor and is a particular example of the boundary of a unital…

We study when a finite dimensional Hopf action on a quantum formal deformation A of a commutative domain A_0 (i.e., a deformation quantization) must factor through a group algebra. In particular, we show that this occurs when the Poisson…

Let $ G^\tau $ be a connected simply connected semisimple algebraic group, endowed with generalized Sklyanin-Drinfel'd structure of Poisson group, let $ H^\tau $ be its dual Poisson group. By means of quantum double construction and…

We prove that random walks on Thompson's group $F$ driven by strictly non-degenerate finitely supported probability measures $\mu$ have a non-trivial Poisson boundary. The proof consists in an explicit construction of two different…

We classify up to isomorphism all non-Kac compact quantum groups with the same fusion rules and dimension function as $SU(n)$. For this we first prove, using categorical Poisson boundary, the following general result. Let $G$ be a…

In this paper we answer a question of Kaimanovich by characterizing (jointly) bi-harmonic functions on countable, discrete groups with respect to a symmetric, generating measure. We also study the peripheral Poisson boundary of $L(\G)$ with…

We define a family of observables for abelian Yang-Mills fields associated to compact regions $U \subseteq M$ with smooth boundary in Riemannian manifolds. Each observable is parametrized by a first variation of solutions and arises as the…

We study the behaviour of a transcendental entire map $ f\colon \mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C} $ on an unbounded invariant Fatou component $ U $, assuming that infinity is accessible from $ U $. It is well-known that $ U $ is simply connected.…
