In this paper, we study the overlap distribution and Gibbs measure of the Branching Random Walk with Gaussian increments on a binary tree. We first prove that the Branching Random Walk is 1 step Replica Symmetry Breaking and give a precise…

We prove a generalization of the fundamental inequality of Guivarc'h relating entropy, drift and critical exponent to Gibbs measures on geometrically finite quotients of CAT(-1) metric spaces. For random walks with finite superexponential…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group, $H$ a lcsc totally disconnected group and $\rho : \Gamma \rightarrow H$ a homomorphism with dense image. We develop a general and explicit technique which provides, for every compact open subgroup…

We consider some of the main notions of Gibbs measures on subshifts introduced by different communities, such as dynamical systems, probability, operator algebras, and mathematical physics. For potentials with $d$-summable variation, we…

We show that a Gibbs characterization of normalized generalized Gamma processes, recently obtained in Lijoi, Pr\"unster and Walker (2007), can alternatively be derived by exploiting a characterization of exponentially tilted Poisson-Kingman…

We consider a transitive action of a finitely generated group $G$ and the Schreier graph $\Gamma$ defined by this action for some fixed generating set. For a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ with a finite first moment we show that if the…

The main aim of the present set of notes is to give new, short and essentially self-contained proofs of some classical, as well as more recent, results about random walks on groups. For instance, we shall see that the drift characterization…

The Poisson boundary of a finite direct product of affine automorphism groups of homogeneous trees is considered. The Poisson boundary is shown to be a product of ends of trees with a hitting measure for spread-out, aperiodic measures of…

We obtain measure rigidity results for stationary measures of random walks generated by diffeomorphisms, and for actions of $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ on smooth manifolds. Our main technical result, from which the rest of the…

We consider a semiclassical random walk with respect to a probability measure associated to a potential with a finite number of critical points. We recover the spectral results from [1] on the corresponding operator in a more general…

In the present paper we provide a new construction of measure, called $p$-adic quasi Gibbs measure, for countable state of $p$-adic Potts model on the Cayley tree. Such a construction depends on a parameter $\frak{p}$ and wights. In…

In this paper, we consider an extension of the Poisson random measure for the formulation of continuous-time reinforcement learning, such that both the frequency and the width of the jumps depend on the path. Starting from a general point…

Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda<G$ a lattice and $H<G$ a connected semisimple subgroup without compact factors and with finite center. We define the notion of $H$-expanding measures $\mu$ on $H$ and, applying recent work of…

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…

This paper presents a sharp approximation of the density of long runs of a random walk conditioned on its end value or by an average of a functions of its summands as their number tends to infinity. The conditioning event is of moderate or…

We show under weak hypotheses that $\partial X$, the Roller boundary of a finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex $X$ is the Furstenberg-Poisson boundary of a sufficiently nice random walk on an acting group $\Gamma$. In particular, we show…

This work improves the existing central limit theorems (CLTs) for geometric functionals of Gibbs processes in three aspects. First, we derive a CLT for weakly stabilizing functionals, thereby improving on the previously used assumption of…

We consider the approximation of a convolution of possibly different probability measures by (compound) Poisson distributions and also by related signed measures of higher order. We present new total variation bounds having a better…

In this paper, we will study the behavior of the space of positive harmonic functions associated with the random walk on a discrete group under the change of probability measure by a randomized stopping time. We show that this space remains…

We present a modified Gibbs sampler for general state spaces. We establish that this modification can lead to substantial gains in statistical efficiency while maintaining the overall quality of convergence. We illustrate our results in two…
