Estimates for simple random walks in groups of intermediate growth I'm looking for references for the rate of escape and return probability for a group of intermediate growth.
Let $0<\alpha < 1$. If the volume growth is $\succeq \mathrm{exp}(n^\alpha)$, then (via isoperimetry, the only reference I have for this is Woess' book) one gets that the return probability $P_{2n}(e,e) \preceq \mathrm{exp}(-n^{\frac{\alpha}{\alpha+2}})$.
Let $0< \beta < 1$. Using entropy and Amir-Virag's paper on the rate of escape (proposition 8), if the volume growth is $\preceq \mathrm{exp}(n^\beta)$, then the rate of escape ($\mathbb{E}(|W_n|)$ where $W_n$ is the time $n$ distribution and $|\cdot|$ is word length) is $\mathbb{E}(|W_n|) \preceq n^{\frac{1+\beta}{2}}$
$\mathbf{Question:}$ Assuming the volume growth is $\succeq \mathrm{exp}(n^\alpha)$ and $\preceq \mathrm{exp}(n^\beta)$ for $0<\alpha < \beta < 1$, is there any other known bound (lower or upper) known for these quantities? 
P.S.: It's not possible to improve these upper bounds for exponential growth (i.e. $\alpha = \beta = 1$), and the lower bounds (in this generality) are $\mathrm{exp}(-n)$ (e.g. for a non-amenable group) and $n^{1/2}$ (e.g. for a polycylic group, see above reference).
 A: It was pointed out to me that Lemma 5.1 in this paper of Erschler (Critical constants for recurrence of random walks on $G$-spaces. Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble), 55(2):493--509, 2005) gives bounds on speed and entropy in terms of volume (the bound on entropy is implicit in the proof). Namely, volume growth $\preceq \mathrm{exp}(n^\beta)$ implies $\mathbb{E}|W_n| \preceq n^{1/(2-\beta)}$.
Some of these estimates are done for measures which are not finitely supported in section 4 of 
arXiv:1403.1195 -- A. Gournay.  The Liouville property and Hilbertian compression.
And an amazing relation between return probability and speed [through entropy] is descirbed in
arXiv:1510.08830 -- L. Saloff-Coste and T. Zheng. Isoperimetric profiles and random walks on some permutation wreath products.
For groups of exponential growth, here are references on the possible behaviour of speed and entropy:
