We study random products of matrices in SL_2(C) from the point of view of holomorphic dynamics. For non-elementary measures with finite first moment we obtain the exponential convergence towards the stationary measure in Sobolev norm. As a…

Let (G,mu) be a discrete group equipped with a generating probability measure, and let Gamma be a finite index subgroup of G. A mu-random walk on G, starting from the identity, returns to Gamma with probability one. Let theta be the hitting…

Let (X,d) be a locally compact separable ultra-metric space. Given a reference measure \mu\ on X and a step length distribution on the non-negative reals, we construct a symmetric Markov semigroup P^t acting in L^2(X,\mu). We study the…

Let $L$ be a second order elliptic operator on $R^d$ with a constant diffusion matrix and a dissipative (in a weak sense) drift $b \in L^p_{loc}$ with some $p>d$. We assume that $L$ possesses a Lyapunov function, but no local boundedness of…

We analyse products of random $R\times R$ matrices by means of a variant of the replica trick which was recently introduced for one-dimensional disordered Ising models. The replicated transfer matrix can be block-diagonalized with help of…

Let $G$ be a discrete group, $\mu$ a measure on $G$ and $X$ a proper CAT(0) space. We show that if $G$ acts non-elementarily with a rank one element on $X$, then the pushforward $\{Z_n o \}_n$ to $X$ of the random walk generated by $\mu$…

Suppose that A_1,\dots, A_N are independent random matrices whose atoms are iid copies of a random variable \xi of mean zero and variance one. It is known from the works of Newman et. al. in the late 80s that when \xi is gaussian then…

We consider a model of a random height function with long-range constraints on a discrete segment. This model was suggested by Benjamini, Yadin and Yehudayoff and is a generalization of simple random walk. The random function is uniformly…

We study the distribution of singular numbers of products of certain classes of $p$-adic random matrices, as both the matrix size and number of products go to $\infty$ simultaneously. In this limit, we prove convergence of the local…

We analyze the top Lyapunov exponent of the product of sequences of two by two matrices that appears in the analysis of several statistical mechanics models with disorder: for example these matrices are the transfer matrices for the nearest…

We study a large class of reversible Markov chains with discrete state space and transition matrix $P_N$. We define the notion of a set of {\it metastable points} as a subset of the state space $\G_N$ such that (i) this set is reached from…

We study products of random matrices in the regime where the number of terms and the size of the matrices simultaneously tend to infinity. Our main theorem is that the logarithm of the $\ell_2$ norm of such a product applied to any fixed…

In this paper, we investigate the properties of recurrent planar Markov random walks. More precisely, we study the set of recurrent points with the use of local limit theorems. The Nagaev-Guivarc'h spectral method provides several examples…
