In how many steps a random walk visits all the elements of a finite group, with a probability 1/2?

This question is a variation of the return to the origin problem. Let $G$ be the finite group $\mathbb{Z}/n \times \mathbb{Z}/n$ and let the random transformation $T: G \to G$ such that $T(a,b) = (...

In Local Statistics of Lattice Dimers we study a nice familiar object, domino tilings in the plane extending out to infinity. His paper is going to discuss the frequency of various "motifs" in ...
