Two short seminal papers of Margulis used Kazhdan's property $(T)$ to give, on the one hand, explicit constructions of expander graphs, and to prove, on the other hand, the uniqueness of some invariant means on compact simple Lie groups.…
This paper presents the spectral analysis of 1-dimensional Schroedinger operator on the half-line whose potential is a linear combination of the Coulomb term 1/r and the centrifugal term 1/r^2. The coupling constants are allowed to be…
We prove a sharp rate of convergence to stationarity for a natural random walk on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. The proof includes a detailed study of the spectral theory of the associated operator.
We study the long-term behavior of the iteration of a random map consisting of Lipschitz transformations on a compact metric space, independently and randomly selected according to a fixed probability measure. Such a random map is said to…
