We construct the Poisson boundary for a random walk supported by the general linear group on the rational numbers as the product of flag manifolds over the $p$-adic fields. To this purpose, we prove a law of large numbers using the…
We characterize $C^*$-simplicity for countable groups by means of the following dichotomy. If a group is $C^*$-simple, then the action on the Poisson boundary is essentially free for a generic measure on the group. If a group is not…
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\text{Out}(F_N)$ with finite first logarithmic moment with respect to the word metric, finite entropy, and whose support generates a nonelementary subgroup of $\text{Out}(F_N)$. We show that almost…
Let G be a countable group which acts by isometries on a separable, but not necessarily proper, Gromov hyperbolic space X. We say the action of G is weakly hyperbolic if G contains two independent hyperbolic isometries. We show that a…
A classical construction associates to a transient random walk on a discrete group $\Gamma$ a compact $\Gamma$-space $\partial_M \Gamma$ known as the Martin boundary. The resulting crossed product $C^*$-algebra $C(\partial_M \Gamma)…
We consider random walks on finitely or countably generated free semigroups, and identify their Poisson boundaries for classes of measures which fail to meet the classical entropy criteria. In particular, we introduce the notion of…
Given a probability measure on a finitely generated group, its Martin boundary is a way to compactify the group using the Green function of the corresponding random walk. It is known from the work of W. Woess that when a finitely supported…
The purpose of the present paper is to establish explicit bounds on moderate deviation probabilities for a rather general class of geometric functionals enjoying the stabilization property, under Poisson input and the assumption of a…
A scenery $f$ on a finite group $G$ is a function from $G$ to $\{0,1\}$. A random walk $v(t)$ on $G$ is said to be reconstructive if the distributions of 2 sceneries evaluated on the random walk with uniform initial distribution are…
We construct the conditional version of $k$ independent and identically distributed random walks on $\R$ given that they stay in strict order at all times. This is a generalisation of so-called non-colliding or non-intersecting random…
We investigate a class of groups acting on possibly exotic affine buildings $X$ and possessing good proximal properties. Such groups are termed of general type, and their dynamics is analyzed through their flag limit sets in the space of…
We characterize regular boundary points in terms of a barrier family for a general form of a parabolic equation that generalizes both the standard parabolic $p$-Laplace equation and the normalized version arising from stochastic game…
In this paper we introduce for a group $G$ the notion of ultralimit of measure class preserving actions of it, and show that its Furstenberg-Poisson boundaries can be obtained as an ultralimit of actions on itself, when equipped with…
Extensive amenability is a property of group actions which has recently been used as a tool to prove amenability of groups. We study this property and prove that it is preserved under a very general construction of semidirect products. As…
The original definition of amenability given by von Neumann in the highly non-constructive terms of means was later recast by Day using approximately invariant probability measures. Moreover, as it was conjectured by Furstenberg and proved…
The main purpose of this article is to explore the possibility of extending the notion of peripheral Poisson boundary of unital completely positive (UCP) maps to contractive completely positive (CCP) maps and to unital and non-unital…
We discuss the qualitatively new properties of random walks on groups that arise in the situation when the entropy of the step distribution is infinite.
We study the problem of convergence to the boundary in the setting of random walks on discrete quantum groups. Convergence to the boundary is established for random walks on $\hat{\textrm{SU}_q(2)}$. Furthermore, we will define the Martin…
We give a geometric description of the Poisson boundaries of certain extensions of free and hyperbolic groups. In particular, we get a full description of the Poisson boundaries of free-by-cyclic groups. We rely upon the description of…
We generalize the Poisson limit theorem to binary functions of random objects whose law is invariant under the action of an amenable group. Examples include stationary random fields, exchangeable sequences, and exchangeable graphs. A…
