Given a Lie group G whose Lie algebra is endowed with a nondegenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form, we construct a Poisson algebra of continuous functions on a certain open subspace R of the space of representations in G of the…

We introduce the discrete affine group of a regular tree as a finitely generated subgroup of the affine group. We describe the Poisson boundary of random walks on it as a space of configurations. We compute isoperimetric profile and Hilbert…

We define an electrification of the curve graph of a surface S of finite type and use it to identify the Poisson boundary of a random walk on the mapping class group of S with some logarithmic moment condition as a stationary measure on the…

The usual random walk on a group (homogeneous both in time and in space) is determined by a probability measure on the group. In a random walk with random transition probabilities this single measure is replaced with a stationary sequence…

We consider random walks on finitely or countably generated free semigroups, and identify their Poisson boundaries for classes of measures which fail to meet the classical entropy criteria. In particular, we introduce the notion of…

We study point processes that consist of certain centers of point tuples of an underlying Poisson process. Such processes arise in stochastic geometry in the study of exceedances of various functionals describing geometric properties of the…

We prove that a Poisson boundary of any regular thick Euclidean building, as well as lattices thereof is the space of chambers at infinity of the building with the harmonic measure class. We then use this result to generalize rigidity…

We study two continuous and isotropic analogues of the model of greedy lattice animals introduced by Cox, Gandolfi, Griffin and Kesten in 1993. In our framework, animals collect masses scattered on a Poisson point process on $\mathbb R^d$,…

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…

Consider a stationary Poisson point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and connect any two points whenever their distance is less than or equal to a prescribed distance parameter. This construction gives rise to the well known random geometric…

The boundary crossing probability of a Poisson process with $n$ jumps is a fundamental quantity with numerous applications. We present a fast $O(n^2 \log n)$ algorithm to calculate this probability for arbitrary upper and lower boundaries.

We introduce a construction that gives rise to a variety of "geometric" finite random graphs, and describe connections to the Poisson boundary, Naim's kernel, and Sznitman's random interlacements.

We describe random walk boundaries (in particular, the Poisson--Furstenberg, or PF-boundary) for a vast family of groups in terms of the hyperbolic boundary of a special free subgroup. We prove that almost all trajectories of the random…

We prove that the Poisson boundary of a simple random walk on the Schreier graph of action of $F$ on $\mathbb{D}$, where $\mathbb{D}$ is the set of dyadic numbers in $[0, 1]$, is non-trivial. This gives a new proof of the result of…

We obtain a description of Poisson--Furstenberg boundaries for (random walks on) fundamental groups of compact graph-manifolds. Together with previously known results due to V.A. Kaimanovich and others, this allows one to obtain…

The main aim of the present set of notes is to give new, short and essentially self-contained proofs of some classical, as well as more recent, results about random walks on groups. For instance, we shall see that the drift characterization…

Asymptotic expansion is constructed and justified for the solution to a nonuniform Neumann boundary-value problem for the Poisson equation with the right-hand side that depends both on longitudinal and transversal variables in a thin…

The general theory of boundary value problems for linear elliptic wedge operators (on smooth manifolds with boundary) leads naturally, even in the scalar case, to the need to consider vector bundles over the boundary together with general…

We show that the problem of Random Walk with boundary attractive potential may be mapped onto the free massive bosonic Quantum Field Theory with a line of defect. This mapping permits to recover the statistical properties of the Random…

We establish an abstract local ergodic theorem, under suitable space-time scaling, for the (boundary-driven) symmetric exclusion process on an increasing sequence of balls covering an infinite weighted graph. The proofs are based on 1-block…
