Let $\Gamma$ be a dense countable subgroup of a locally compact continuous group $G$. Take a probability measure $\mu$ on $\Gamma$. There are two natural spaces of harmonic functions: the space of $\mu$-harmonic functions on the countable…

The Poisson boundary of a group G with a probability measure \mu is the space of ergodic components of the time shift in the path space of the associated random walk. Via a generalization of the classical Poisson formula it gives an…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $\mu$ an admissible probability measure on $G$. Let $(B,\nu)$ be the universal topological Poisson $\mu$-boundary of $(G,\mu)$ and $\Pi_s(G)$ the universal minimal strongly proximal $G$-flow. This note…

We give sufficient conditions for the non-triviality of the Poisson boundary of random walks on $H(\mathbb{Z})$ and its subgroups. The group $H(\mathbb{Z})$ is the group of piecewise projective homeomorphisms over the integers defined by…

Let $\mu$ be a nondegenerate probability measure with finite entropy on a countable group $G \leq \mathrm{Homeo}_+(S^1)$ of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle acting proximally, minimally and topologically nonfreely on…

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…

Poisson boundary is a measurable $\Gamma$-space canonically associated with a group $\Gamma$ and a probability measure $\mu$ on it. The collection of all measurable $\Gamma$-equivariant quotients, known as $\mu$-boundaries, of the Poisson…

We study harmonic functions and Poisson boundaries for Borel probability measures on general (i.e., not necessarily locally compact) topological groups, and we prove that a second-countable topological group is amenable if and only if it…

In this paper we study random walks on a finitely generated group $G$ which has a free action on a $\mathbb{Z}^n$-tree. We show that if $G$ is non-abelian and acts minimally, freely and without inversions on a locally finite…

We give a sufficient condition for a countable group $G$ to possess a probability measure $\mu$ that admits a non-trivial $\mu$-boundary modeled in the space $\mathrm{Sub}_{\mathrm{am}}(G)$ of amenable subgroups of $G$. In particular, for…

The usual random walk on a group (homogeneous both in time and in space) is determined by a probability measure on the group. In a random walk with random transition probabilities this single measure is replaced with a stationary sequence…

We investigate the conditions under which the space of bounded harmonic functions of a probability measure $\mu$ on a group $G$ is contained in that of another measure $\theta$. We establish that asymptotic commutativity, defined by the…

Given a finitely generated group, the well-known Stability Problem asks whether the non-triviality of the Poisson-Furstenberg boundary (which is equivalent to the existence of non-constant bounded harmonic functions) depends on the choice…

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…

We give a complete description of the Poisson boundary of wreath products $A\wr B= \bigoplus_{B} A\rtimes B$ of countable groups $A$ and $B$, for probability measures $\mu$ with finite entropy where lamp configurations stabilize almost…

For a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$, consider the convolution action of a quantum probability measure $\mu$ on $L_\infty(\mathbb{G})$. As shown by Junge--Neufang--Ruan, this action has a natural extension to a Markov map on…

For every non-hyper-FC-central countable amenable group and every $k\geq 2$, we provide a sequence of symmetric, fully supported probability measures such that their convex combination is non-Liouville (that is it admits a non-constant…

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 discrete quantum group $H$ with a finite normal quantum subgroup $G$, we show that any positive, possibly unbounded, harmonic function on $H$ with respect to an irreducible invariant random walk is $G$-invariant. This implies that,…

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…
