Random walk on Bethe lattice and hyperbolic geometry

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

We give the exact solution to the problem of a random walk on the Bethe lattice through a mapping on an asymmetric random walk on the half-line. We also study the continuous limit of this model, and discuss in detail the relation between the random walk on the Bethe lattice and Brownian motion on a space of constant negative curvature.
