Harmonic, Gibbs and Hausdorff measures on repellers for holomorphic maps, II
We establish a dimension formula for the harmonic measure of a finitely supported and symmetric random walk on a hyperbolic group. We also characterize random walks for which this dimension is maximal. Our approach is based on the Green metric, a metric which provides a geometric point of view on random walks and, in particular, which allows us to interpret harmonic measures as quasiconformal measures on the boundary of the group.
We consider (bounded) Besicovitch sets in the Heisenberg group and prove that Lp estimates for the Kakeya maximal function imply lower bounds for their Heisenberg Hausdorff dimension.
