In this paper, we rigorously establish the Gumbel-distributed fluctuations of the cover time, normalized by the mean first passage time, for finite-range, symmetric, irreducible random walks on a torus of dimension three or higher. This has…

We consider a random walk on the mapping class group of a surface of finite type. We assume that the random walk is determined by a probability measure whose support is finite and generates a non-elementary subgroup $H$. We further assume…

The main result of this paper is a decomposition theorem for a measure on the one-dimensional torus. Given a sufficiently large subset $S$ of the positive integers, an arbitrary measure on the torus is decomposed as the sum of two measures.…

In this paper we consider an irreducible random walk on the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}$ that is in the domain of normal attraction of a strictly stable process with index $\alpha\in (1, 2)$ and obtain the asymptotic form of the…

Quantum random walks, - coined, lattice ones, - exhibit ballistic behavior with fascinating asymptotic patterns of the amplitudes. We show that averaging over the coins (using the Haar measure), these patterns blend into a spline. Also, we…

The purpose of this note is to establish convergence of random walks on the moduli space of Abelian differentials on compact Riemann surfaces in two different modes: convergence of the $n$-step distributions from almost every starting point…

We investigate three aspects of weak* convergence of the $n$-step distributions of random walks on finite volume homogeneous spaces $G/\Gamma$ of semisimple real Lie groups. First, we look into the obvious obstruction to the upgrade from…

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…

Inspired by the study of edge statistics of random band matrices, we investigate random walks on large $d$-dimensional periodic lattices, whose transition matrices are determined by discretized density functions. Under certain moment…

In this paper we apply techniques of spherical harmonic analysis to prove a local limit theorem, a rate of escape theorem, and a central limit theorem for isotropic random walks on arbitrary thick regular affine buildings of irreducible…

We study random walks on a $d$-dimensional torus by affine expanding maps whose linear parts commute. Assuming an irrationality condition on their translation parts, we prove that the Haar measure is the unique stationary measure. We deduce…

We consider a nonstationary random walk on a compact metrizable abelian group. Under a classical strict aperiodicity assumption we establish a weak-* convergence to the Haar measure, Ergodic Theorem and Large Deviation Type Estimate.

This paper is concerned with Random walk approximations of the Brownian motion on the Affine group Aff(R). We are in particular interested in the case where the innovations are discrete. In this framework, the return probability of the walk…

Let $G$ be a connected simple real Lie group, $\Lambda_{0}\subseteq G$ a lattice and $\Lambda \unlhd \Lambda_{0}$ a normal subgroup such that $\Lambda_{0}/\Lambda\simeq \mathbb{Z}^d$. We study the drift of a random walk on the…

We consider a random walk on a second countable locally compact topological space endowed with an invariant Radon measure. We show that if the walk is symmetric and if every subset which is invariant by the walk has zero or infinite…

We examine the sets of late points of a symmetric random walk on $Z^2$ projected onto the torus $Z^2_K$, culminating in a limit theorem for the cover time of the toral random walk. This extends the work done for the simple random walk in…

We study the asymptotic position distribution of general quantum walks on a lattice, including walks with a random coin, which is chosen from step to step by a general Markov chain. In the unitary (i.e., non-random) case, we allow any…

This work proves that the fluctuations of the cover time of simple random walk in the discrete torus of dimension at least three with large side-length are governed by the Gumbel extreme value distribution. This result was conjectured for…

To what extent is the underlying distribution of a finitely supported unbiased random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ determined by the sequence of times at which the walk returns to the origin? The main result of this paper is that, in various…

Let $\Cal S$ be an abelian group of automorphisms of a probability space $(X, {\Cal A}, \mu)$ with a finite system of generators $(A_1, ..., A_d)$. Let $A^{\el}$ denote $A_1^{\ell_1} ... A_d^{\ell_d}$, for ${\el}= (\ell_1, ..., \ell_d)$. If…
