Abstract

Branching random walks (BRW) on groups consist of two independent processes on the Cayley graphs: branching and movement. Start with a particle on a favorite location of the graph. According to a given offspring distribution, the particles at the time n split into a random set of particles with mean $r \ge 1$, each of which then moves independently with a fixed step distribution to the next locations. It is well-known that if the offspring mean $r$ is less than the spectral radius of the underlying random walk, then BRW is transient: the particles are eventually free on any finite set of locations. The particles trace a random subgraph which accumulates to a random subset called limit set in a boundary of the graph. In this talk, we consider BRW on relatively hyperbolic groups and study the limit set of the trace at the Bowditch and Floyd boundaries. In particular, the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set will be computed. This is based on a joint work with Mathieu Dussaule and Longmin Wang

      Limit theorems on nilpotent Lie groups

      Abstract:I will present limit theorems for random walks on nilpotent Lie groups, obtained in a recent work with Emmanuel Breuillard. Most works on the topic assumed the step distribution of the walk to be centered in the abelianization of the group. Our main contribution is to authorize non-centered step distributions. In this case, new phenomena emerge: the large-scale geometry of the walk dep...

      The derivative martingale in a branching Lévy process

      AbstractIn the study of the branching Brownian motion, the convergence of the derivative martingale is of significant interest, since the limit can be used to study the travelling wave solutions of the FKPP (Fisher–Kolmogorov–Petrovskii–Piskunov) equation.Recently, Bertoin introduces branching Lévy processes, generalizing the branching Brownian motion to a very general class of branching par...
