چکیده

In this paper we define a general setting for Martin boundary theory associated to quantum random walks, and prove a representation theorem. We show that in the dual of a simply connected Lie subgroup of U(n), the extremal Martin boundary is homeomorphic to a sphere. Then, we investigate restriction of quantum random walks to Abelian subalgebras of group algebras, and establish a Ney–Spitzer theorem for an elementary random walk on the fusion algebra of SU(n), generalizing a previous result of Biane. We also consider the restriction of a quantum random walk on SUq(n) introduced by Izumi to two natural Abelian subalgebras, and relate the underlying Markov chains by classical probabilistic processes. This result generalizes a result of Biane.  2004 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved. Résumé Dans cet article, nous définissons un cadre général pour la théorie de Martin associée à une large classe de marches au hasard sur le dual de groupes compacts, et établissons un théorème de représentation intégrale. Ensuite, nous montrons que dans le dual d’un sous-groupe de Lie simplement connexe de U(n), la frontière de Martin extremale est homéomorphe à une sphère. Nous nous concentrons alors sur la restriction de marches au hasard quantiques à certaines sous-algèbres Abéliennes d’algèbres de groupes, et établissons un théorème de Ney–Spitzer pour une marche au hasard “de Bernoulli” sur l’algèbre de fusion de SU(n). Nous considérons aussi la restriction d’une marche au hasard quantique introduite par Izumi à deux sous-algèbres abéliennes distinctes, et relions les chaînes de Markov sous-jacentes par des procédés probabilistes classiques. Ce résultat généralise un résultat de Biane.  2004 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.

A PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS

A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...

Random Walk with a Boundary Line as a Free Massive Boson with a Defect Line

We show that the problem of Random Walk with boundary attractive potential may be mapped onto the free massive bosonic Quantum Field Theory with a line of defect. This mapping permits to recover the statistical properties of the Random Walks by using boundary S–matrix and Form Factor techniques. E-mail: [email protected]

t-Martin boundary of killed random walks in the quadrant

We compute the t-Martin boundary of two-dimensional small steps random walks killed at the boundary of the quarter plane. We further provide explicit expressions for the (generating functions of the) discrete t-harmonic functions. Our approach is uniform in t, and shows that there are three regimes for the Martin boundary.

Martin Boundaries and Random Walks

The first three sections give a quick overview of Martin boundary theory and state the main results. The succeeding sections will flesh out the details, and give proofs and examples. Virtually all of the results below are classical. The article Doob (1959) and the book by Kemeny, Snell, and Knapp (1976) are good sources for additional details. A recent survey article by Wolfgang Woess (1994) ha...

Quantum random walks on congested lattices and the effect of dephasing

We consider quantum random walks on congested lattices and contrast them to classical random walks. Congestion is modelled on lattices that contain static defects which reverse the walker's direction. We implement a dephasing process after each step which allows us to smoothly interpolate between classical and quantum random walks as well as study the effect of dephasing on the quantum walk. Ou...
