Publisher's Synopsis
This book covers the interplay between the behaviour of a class of stochastic processes (random walks) and structure theory. Written by leading researchers, this collection of invited papers presents links with spectral theory and discrete potential theory, besides probabilistic and structure theoretic aspects. Its interdisciplinary approach spans several areas of mathematics including geometric group theory, discrete geometry and harmonic analysis, and will be of interest to researchers and post-graduate students, both in mathematics and statistical physics.
