We study properties of the harmonic measure of balls in typical large discrete trees. For a ball of radius $n$ centered at the root, we prove that, although the size of the boundary is of order $n$, most of the harmonic measure is supported…

We describe an extremal property of the hexagonal lattice $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^2$. Let $p$ denote the circumcenter of its fundamental triangle (a so-called deep hole) and let $A_r$ denote the set of lattice points that are at…

We consider various two-dimensional lattices such as square, Kagome, Lieb, honeycomb, dice lattices of finite extent, to study the effect of lattice profile in terms of the number of nearest neighbour and connectivity patterns on the…

We establish a dimension formula for the harmonic measure of a finitely supported and symmetric random walk on a hyperbolic group. We also characterize random walks for which this dimension is maximal. Our approach is based on the Green…

In section 1 we give an improved lower bound on Hermite's constant $\delta_{2g}$ for symplectic lattices in even dimensions ($g=2n$) by applying a mean-value argument from the geometry of numbers to a subset of symmetric lattices. Here we…

We prove effective joint equidistribution of several natural parameters associated to primitive vectors in $\mathbb{Z}^{n}$, as the norm of these vectors tends to infinity. These parameters include the direction, the orthogonal lattice, and…

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 consider minimizing harmonic maps $u$ from $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ into a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$ and prove: (1) an extension to $n \geq 4$ of Almgren and Lieb's linear law. That is, if the fundamental group of the…

The Erd\H{o}s distance problem concerns the least number of distinct distances that can be determined by $N$ points in the plane. The integer lattice with $N$ points is known as \textit{near-optimal}, as it spans $\Theta(N/\sqrt{\log(N)})$…

Consider $n$ $d$-dimensional vectors with iid entries from a lattice distribution $X$. We show that the probability that all distances between them are equal is asymptotically \[ C_n\cdot\frac{1}{d^{(m-1)/2}} \quad \text{for} \quad d \to…

We present a technique, which we call "etching," which we use to study the harmonic measure of Fortuin-Kasteleyn clusters in the Q-state Potts model for Q=1-4. The harmonic measure is the probability distribution of random walkers diffusing…

We study the normalized eigenvalue counting measure d\sigma of matrices of long-range percolation model. These are (2n+1)\times (2n+1) random real symmetric matrices H=\{H(i,j)\}_{i,j} whose elements are independent random variables taking…

We conjecture that the set of homogeneous probability measures on the maximal Satake compactification of an arithmetic locally symmetric space $S=\Gamma\backslash G/K$ is compact. More precisely, given a sequence of homogeneous probability…

We study those measures whose doubling constant is the least possible among doubling measures on a given metric space. It is shown that such measures exist on every metric space supporting at least one doubling measure. In addition, a…

We show that for an $n\times n$ random matrix $A$ with independent uniformly anti-concentrated entries, such that $\mathbb{E} ||A||^2_{HS}\leq K n^2$, the smallest singular value $\sigma_n(A)$ of $A$ satisfies $$ P\left( \sigma_n(A)\leq…

Let G be a free product of a finite family of finite groups, with the set of generators being formed by the union of the finite groups. We consider a transient nearest-neighbour random walk on G. We give a new proof of the fact that the…

We establish an asymptotic formula for the number of lattice points in the sets \[ \mathbf S_{h_1, h_2, h_3}(\lambda): =\{x\in\mathbb Z_+^3:\lfloor h_1(x_1)\rfloor+\lfloor h_2(x_2)\rfloor+\lfloor h_3(x_3)\rfloor=\lambda\} \quad…

Any Zariski dense countable subgroup of $SL(d,R)$ is shown to carry a non-degenerate finitely supported symmetric random walk such that its harmonic measure on the flag space is singular. The main ingredients of the proof are: (1) a new…

A measure on a locally compact group is called spread out if one of its convolution powers is not singular with respect to Haar measure. Using Markov chain theory, we conduct a detailed analysis of random walks on homogeneous spaces with…
