Acceleration of lamplighter random walks
Suppose we are given an infinite, finitely generated group G and a transient random walk with bounded range on the wreath product (Z/2Z) ≀ G, such that its projection on G is transient. This random walk can be interpreted as a lamplighter random walk, where there is a lamp at each element of G, which can be switched on and off, and a lamplighter walks along G and switches lamps randomly on and ...
متن کاملThe Poisson Boundary of Lamplighter Random Walks on Trees
Let Tq be the homogeneous tree with degree q + 1 ≥ 3 and G a finitely generated group whose Cayley graph is Tq. The associated lamplighter group is the wreath product Zr ≀ G, where Zr is the cyclic group of order r. For a large class of random walks on this group, we prove almost sure convergence to a natural geometric boundary. If the probability law governing the random walk has finite first ...
متن کاملA note on the Poisson boundary of lamplighter random walks
The main goal of this paper is to determine the Poisson boundary of lamplighter random walks over a general class of discrete groups Γ endowed with a “rich” boundary. The starting point is the Strip Criterion of identification of the Poisson boundary for random walks on discrete groups due to Kaimanovich [16]. A geometrical method for constructing the strip as a subset of the lamplighter group ...
متن کاملHarmonic analysis of finite lamplighter random walks
Recently, several papers have been devoted to the analysis of lamplighter random walks, in particular when the underlying graph is the infinite path Z. In the present paper, we develop a spectral analysis for lamplighter random walks on finite graphs. In the general case, we use the C2-symmetry to reduce the spectral computations to a series of eigenvalue problems on the underlying graph. In th...
متن کاملMixing times for Random Walks on Finite Lamplighter Groups
Given a finite graph G, a vertex of the lamplighter graph G♦ = Z2 o G consists of a zero-one labeling of the vertices of G, and a marked vertex of G. For transitive G we show that, up to constants, the relaxation time for simple random walk in G♦ is the maximal hitting time for simple random walk in G, while the mixing time in total variation on G♦ is the expected cover time on G. The mixing ti...
