| Aug 13, 2011 at 17:36 | comment | added | Asaf | If I recall correctly, Kesten's results bounds some spectral gaps (for random walk on free group), this is a result which is used today in expanders (the Bourgain-Gamburd methods uses it in one of the scales being analysed there). I don't see any clear connection here. If you want, there is another paper by Furstenberg dealing with random walks on Lie groups (this is where stationary measures were first intorduced), which is more relevant - see Furstenberg 71, or this survery math.u-psud.fr/~breuilla/part0gb.pdf by Breuillard. | |
