Uniqueness of stationary measures for $(G,\mu)$ boundaries

Let $G$ be a countable group acting minimally by homeomorphisms on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ and $\mu$ be a probability measure on $G$ whose support generates $G$ as a semigroup. Let $\nu$ is a $\...

Are there examples of hyperbolic manifolds with finite Bowen-Margulis measure and fundamental group which is not relatively hyperbolic?

It is well known that a geometrically finite hyperbolic manifold (quotient of $H^n$) has finite Bowen-Margulis measure. Marc Peigné [1] constructed examples of geometrically infinite hyperbolic ...

When is the minimal Martin boundary closed?

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and $\mu$ a symmetric measure of finite support on $\Gamma$. Let $\partial_{M}\Gamma$ be the Martin boundary of $(\Gamma,\mu)$ and let $\partial^{min}_{M}\...

Question about martin boundaries of random walks induced on transient subgroups

Suppose $\Gamma$ is a discrete, finitely generated, non-amenable group, and consider a random walk given by a measure $\mu$. Assume the measure is symmetric, finitely generated, and the support of $\...

Discontinuity of Radon-Nikodym derivative for Patterson-Sullivan measures for word metrics on Gromov hyperbolic groups

Let $\Gamma$ be a Gromov hyperbolic group coming endowed with a word metric coming from some finite generating set. Let $\nu$ be an associated Patterson-Sullivan measure (quasi-conformal density). I ...

Absolute continuity of harmonic measure for a random walk and its reflection

Let $G$ be a hyperbolic group, and $\mu$ a (nonsymmetric) probability measure on $G$ whose support generates $G$ as a semigroup. Let $\nu$ be the associated harmonic ($\mu$ stationary) on $\partial G$....
