We prove that the spectral radius of a strongly irreducible random walk on GLd(R) (or more generally the vector of moduli of eigenvalues of a Zariski-dense random walk on a reductive group) satisfies a central limit theorem under an order…

Let $G$ be a group with a non-elementary action on a proper CAT(0) space $X$, and let $\mu$ be a measure on $G$ such that the random walk $(Z_n)_n$ generated by $\mu$ has finite second moment on $X$. Let $o$ be a basepoint in $X$, and…

We obtain various new limit theorems for random walks on SL_2(C) under low moment conditions. For non-elementary measures with a finite second moment, we prove a Local Limit Theorem for the norm cocycle, yielding the optimal version of a…

Random walks in random scenery are processes defined by $Z_n:=\sum_{k=1}^n\xi_{X_1+...+X_k}$, where $(X_k,k\ge 1)$ and $(\xi_y,y\in\mathbb Z)$ are two independent sequences of i.i.d. random variables. We assume here that their distributions…

Motivated by Gromov's geodesic flow problem on hyperbolic groups $G$, we develop in this paper an analog using random walks. This leads to a notion of a harmonic analog $\Theta$ of the Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure on $\partial^2 G$. We…

In this article, local limit theorems for sequences of simple random walks on graphs are established. The results formulated are motivated by a variety of random graph models, and explanations are provided as to how they apply to…

In the present paper, as a continuation of our preceding paper [10], we study another kind of central limit theorems (CLTs) for non-symmetric random walks on nilpotent covering graphs from a viewpoint of discrete geometric analysis…

Gromov hyperbolic spaces have become an essential concept in geometry, topology and group theory. Here we extend Ancona's potential theory on Gromov hyperbolic manifolds and graphs of bounded geometry to a large class of Schr\"odinger…

Let $(X,d)$ be a geodesic Gromov-hyperbolic space, $o \in X$ a basepoint and $\mu$ a countably supported non-elementary probability measure on $\operatorname{Isom}(X)$. Denote by $z_n$ the random walk on $X$ driven by the probability…

We consider random walks on countable groups. A celebrated result of Kesten says that the spectral radius of a symmetric walk (whose support generates the group as a semigroup) is equal to one if and only if the group is amenable. We give…

Consider a centred random walk in dimension one with a positive finite variance $\sigma^2$, and let $\tau_B$ be the hitting time for a bounded Borel set $B$ with a non-empty interior. We prove the asymptotic $P_x(\tau_B > n) \sim \sqrt{2 /…

We prove that the Gromov boundary of every hyperbolic group is homeomorphic to some Markov compactum. Our reasoning is based on constructing a sequence of covers of $\partial G$, which is quasi-$G$-invariant wrt. the ball $N$-type (defined…

Partially motivated by the study of I. Binder, N. Makarov, and S. Smirnov [BMS03] on dimension spectra of polynomial Cantor sets, we initiate the investigation on some general harmonic measures, inspired by Sullivan's dictionary, for…

Symmetry is a cornerstone of much of mathematics, and many probability distributions possess symmetries characterized by their invariance to a collection of group actions. Thus, many mathematical and statistical methods rely on such…

In this work we prove the continuity and existence of large deviations for the drift of random walks on groups acting by isometries on Gromov Hyperbolic Spaces. Through the process we refine the multiplicative ergodic theorem of Karlsson…

We study an homogeneous irreducible markovian random walk in a square lattice of arbitrary dimension, with an antisymmetric perturbation acting only in one point. We compute exactly spatial correction to the diffusive behaviour in the…

We present a unified approach to a couple of central limit theorems for radial random walks on hyperbolic spaces and time-homogeneous Markov chains on the positive half line whose transition probabilities are defined in terms of the Jacobi…

Consider a sequence of independent random isometries of Euclidean space with a previously fixed probability law. Apply these isometries successively to the origin and consider the sequence of random points that we obtain this way. We prove…

First, we prove a \emph{local almost sure central limit theorem} for lattice random walks in the plane. The corresponding version for random walks in the line was considered by the author in \cite{5}. This gives us a quantitative version of…

A variety of behaviors of entropy functions of random walks on finitely generated groups is presented, showing that for any $\frac{1}{2}\leq \alpha\leq\beta\leq1$, there is a group $\Gamma$ with measure $\mu$ equidistributed on a finite…
