In this article, we first give a comprehensive description of random walk (RW) problem focusing on self-similarity, dynamic scaling and its connection to diffusion phenomena. One of the main goals of our work is to check how robust the RW…

The probability that a symmetric random walk in a hyperbolic group reaches a proper power has the same exponential rate of decay as the probability of return to the identity.

Let $G$ be a real connected algebraic semi-simple Lie group, and $H$ an algebraic subgroup of $G$. Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $G$, with finite exponential moment, whose support spans a Zariski-dense subsemigroup of $G$. Let…

In \cite{SzT}, D. Sz\'asz and A. Telcs have shown that for the diffusively scaled, simple symmetric random walk, weak convergence to the Brownian motion holds even in the case of local impurities if $d \ge 2$. The extension of their result…

We establish recurrence criteria for sums of independent random variables which take values in Euclidean lattices of varying dimension. In particular, we describe transient inhomogenous random walks in the plane which interlace two…

Random walks on the circle group $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ whose elementary steps are lattice variables with span $\alpha \not\in \mathbb{Q}$ or $p/q \in \mathbb{Q}$ taken mod $\mathbb{Z}$ exhibit delicate behavior. In the rational case we…

The notion of expansivity and its generalizations (measure expansive, measure positively expansive, continuum-wise expansive, countably-expansive) are well known for deterministic systems and can be a useful property for studying…

In this note, we give an original convergence result for products of independent random elements of motion group. Then we consider dynamic random walks which are inhomogeneous Markov chains whose transition probability of each step is, in…

We consider random variables observed at arrival times of a renewal process, which possibly depends on those observations and has regularly varying steps with infinite mean. Due to the dependence and heavy tailed steps, the limiting…

The main result of this paper states that for independent random variables $X, Y$ taking values in a compact metrisable abelian group, $X + Y$ has the same distribution as $X$, if and only if there exists a compact subgroup $A$ such that…

We construct new examples of expander Cayley graphs of finite groups, arising as congruence quotients of non-elementary subgroups of $SL_2 (\mathbb{F}_p [t])$ modulo certain square-free ideals. We describe some applications of our results…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $E$ be a $G$-space. An irreducible probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ is said to have Liouville property on $E$ if $G$-invariant functions on $E$ are the only continuous bounded functions on $E$ that…

We prove Gaussian concentration inequalities for maximal displacement of compactly supported random walks on a compactly generated locally compact group with polynomial growth. Concentration inequalities with different exponents hold for…

For a zero-delayed random walk on the real line, let $\tau(x)$, $N(x)$ and $\rho(x)$ denote the first passage time into the interval $(x,\infty)$, the number of visits to the interval $(-\infty,x]$ and the last exit time from $(-\infty,x]$,…

We study products of random isometries acting on Euclidean space. Building on previous work of the second author, we prove a local limit theorem for balls of shrinking radius with exponential speed under the assumption that a Markov…

Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda\leq G$ a lattice, and $\Omega=G/\Lambda$. We study the equidistribution properties of the left random walk on $\Omega$ induced by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$. It is assumed that $\mu$ has a…

We consider non-degenerate, finitely supported random walks on a free group. We show that the entropy and the linear drift vary analytically with th eprobability of constant support.

We study random walks on the integers driven by a sample of time-dependent nearest-neighbor conductances that are bounded but are permitted to vanish over time intervals of positive Lebesgue-length. Assuming only ergodicity of the…

Using the technique of evolving sets, we explore the connection between entropy growth and transience for simple random walks on connected infinite graphs with bounded degree. In particular we show that for a simple random walk starting at…
