We study harmonic functions and Poisson boundaries for Borel probability measures on general (i.e., not necessarily locally compact) topological groups, and we prove that a second-countable topological group is amenable if and only if it…

We show that on groups generated by bounded activity automata, every symmetric, finitely supported probability measure has the Liouville property. More generally we show this for every group of automorphisms of bounded type of a rooted…

We begin by giving a new proof of the equivalence between the Liouville property and vanishing of the drift for symmetric random walks with finite first moments on finitely generated groups; a result which was first established by…

Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be probability measures on a group \Gamma and let G_\mu and G_\nu denote Green's function with respect to \mu and \nu . The group \Gamma is said to admit instability of Green's function if there are symmetric, finitely…

Liouville property of actions of discrete groups can be reformulated in terms of existence co-F$\o$lner sets. Since every action of amenable group is Liouville, the property can be served as an approach for proving non-amenability. The…

Conformal dimension is a fundamental invariant of metric spaces, particularly suited to the study of self-similar spaces, such as spaces with an expanding self-covering (e.g. Julia sets of complex rational functions). The dynamics of these…

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…

In the present paper, we treat random matrix products on the general linear group $\textrm{GL}(V)$, where $V$ is a vector space defined on any local field, when the top Lyapunov exponent is simple, without irreducibility assumption. In…

For every non-hyper-FC-central countable amenable group and every $k\geq 2$, we provide a sequence of symmetric, fully supported probability measures such that their convex combination is non-Liouville (that is it admits a non-constant…

Let $(X,\mathcal W)$ be a balayage space, $1\in \mathcal W$, or - equivalently - let $\mathcal W$ be the set of excessive functions of a Hunt process on a locally compact space $X$ with countable base such that $\mathcal W$ separates…

We obtain a Liouville property for stationary diffusions in random environment which are small, isotropic perturbations of Brownian motion in spacial dimension greater than two. Precisely, we prove that, on a subset of full probability, the…

We present a new approach to the amenability of groupoids (both in the measure theoretical and the topological setups) based on using Markov operators. We introduce the notion of an invariant Markov operator on a groupoid and show that the…

We construct a finitely generated group $G$ without the Liouville property such that the return probability of a random walk satisfies $p_{2n}(e,e) \gtrsim e^{-n^{1/2 + o(1)}}$. Recent results suggest that $1/2$ is indeed the smallest…

We study random walk on topological full groups of subshifts, and show the existence of infinite, finitely generated, simple groups with the Liouville property. Results by Matui and Juschenko-Monod have shown that the derived subgroups of…

Timelike Liouville theory admits the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ as a real saddle point, about which quantum fluctuations can occur. An issue occurs when computing the expectation values of specific types of quantities, like the distance…

In this short paper we study $L_f^p$-Liouville property with $0<p<1$ for nonnegative $f$-subharmonic functions on a complete noncompact smooth metric measure space $(M,g,e^{-f}dv)$ with $\mathrm{Ric}_f^m$ bounded below for $0<m\leq\infty$.…

If $G$ is a compact Lie group endowed with a left invariant metric $g$, then $G$ acts via pullback by isometries on each eigenspace of the associated Laplace operator $\Delta_g$. We establish algebraic criteria for the existence of left…

The paper analyzes a specific class of random walks on quotients of $X:=\text{SL}(k,{\Bbb R})/ \Gamma$ for a lattice $\Gamma$. Consider a one parameter diagonal subgroup, $\{g_t\}$, with an associated abelian expanding horosphere, $U\cong…

We consider a non-elementary group action $G \curvearrowright X$ of a locally compact second countable group $G$ on a possibly exotic non-discrete affine building $X$ of type $\tilde{A}_2$. We prove that if $\mu$ is an admissible symmetric…

There are many classical random walk in random environment results that apply to ergodic random planar environments. We extend some of these results to random environments in which the length scale varies from place to place, so that the…
