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...
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...
