A remark concerning random walks with random potentials

Yakov Sinai (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider random walks where each path is equipped with a random weight which is stationary and independent in space and time. We show that under some assumptions the arising probability distributions are in a sense uniformly absolutely continuous with respect to the usual probability distribution for symmetric random walks.

About the generating function of a left bounded integer-valued random variable

Charles Delorme, Jean-Marc Rinkel (2008)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We give a relation between the sign of the mean of an integer-valued, left bounded, random variable X and the number of zeros of 1 - Φ ( z ) inside the unit disk, where Φ is the generating function of X , under some mild conditions

Aging and quenched localization for one-dimensional random walks in random environment in the sub-ballistic regime

Nathanaël Enriquez, Christophe Sabot, Olivier Zindy (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We consider transient one-dimensional random walks in a random environment with zero asymptotic speed. An aging phenomenon involving the generalized Arcsine law is proved using the localization of the walk at the foot of “valleys“ of height log t . In the quenched setting, we also sharply estimate the distribution of the walk at time t .

Almost everywhere convergence of convolution powers on compact abelian groups

Jean-Pierre Conze, Michael Lin (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

It is well-known that a probability measure μ on the circle 𝕋 satisfies μ n * f - f d m p 0 for every f L p , every (some) p [ 1 , ) , if and only if | μ ^ ( n ) | l t ; 1 for every non-zero n ( μ is strictly aperiodic). In this paper we study the a.e. convergence of μ n * f for every f L p whenever p g t ; 1 . We prove a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of the Fourier–Stieltjes coefficients of μ , for the strong sweeping out property (existence of a Borel set B with lim sup μ n * 1 B = 1 a.e. and lim inf μ n * 1 B = 0 a.e.). The results are extended to general compact Abelian groups G with Haar...

Amenability of linear-activity automaton groups

Gideon Amir, Omer Angel, Bálint Virág (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove that every linear-activity automaton group is amenable. The proof is based on showing that a random walk on a specially constructed degree 1 automaton group – the mother group – has asymptotic entropy 0. Our result answers an open question by Nekrashevych in the Kourovka notebook, and gives a partial answer to a question of Sidki.
