We extend the theory of Patterson-Sullivan measure to any regular covering of a compact manifold using the Busemann compactification and derive an integral formula for the volume entropy. As applications we prove some rigidity theorems for…

We extend several notions and results from the classical Patterson-Sullivan theory to the setting of Anosov subgroups of higher rank semisimple Lie groups, working primarily with invariant Finsler metrics on associated symmetric spaces. In…

We prove that random walks on Thompson's group $F$ driven by strictly non-degenerate finitely supported probability measures $\mu$ have a non-trivial Poisson boundary. The proof consists in an explicit construction of two different…

Let $\Gamma$ be a relatively hyperbolic group and let $\mu$ be an admissible symmetric finitely supported probability measure on $\Gamma$. We extend Floyd-Ancona type inequalities up to the spectral radius of $\mu$. We then show that when…

Measure-theoretic slow entropy is a more refined invariant than the classical measure-theoretic entropy to characterize the complexity of dynamical systems with subexponential growth rates of distinguishable orbit types. In this paper we…

For a non-elementary discrete isometry group $G$ of divergence type acting on a proper geodesic $\delta$-hyperbolic space, we prove that its Patterson measure is quasi-invariant under the normalizer of $G$. As applications of this result,…

For any countable group with infinite conjugacy classes we construct a family of forests on the group. For each of them there is a random walk on the group with the property that its sample paths almost surely converge to the geometric…

For a geometrically finite Kleinian group $\Gamma$, the Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure is finite and is the unique measure of maximal entropy for the geodesic flow, as shown by Sullivan and Otal-Peign\'e respectively. Moreover, it is…

The notion of slow entropy, both upper and lower slow entropy, was defined by Katok and Thouvenot as a more refined measure of complexity for dynamical systems, than the classical Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy. For any subexponential rate…

Let $\Gamma\subset \mathsf{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ be a lattice and $\rho:\Gamma\to \mathsf{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R})$ be a maximal representation. We show that $\rho$ satisfies a measurable $(1,1,2)-$hypertransversality condition. With this we define…
