A question about convergence of stochastic processes converging to a random walk
Consider the following random walk $(y_t)_{t \in \mathbb Z_+}$:
$$y_t = y_{t-1} + u_t,\quad (u_t)_{t \in \mathbb Z_+} \overset{iid}{\sim} N(0,1), \quad (t \in \mathbb Z_+)$$
where $y_0, u_1, u_2,...$ ...

Asymptotic properties of weighted random walks / infinite convolutions of random variables
Let $(X_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. real-random variables. Let further $0<c<1$. I'm interested in the asymptotic properties of
$$
\sum_{k=1}^n c^k X_k.
$$
I can prove that this ...

Intuition behind the local limit theorem in hyperbolic groups
Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\Gamma$. Denote by $X_n$ the induced random walk. Finally, let $p_n=\mu^{*n}(e)=P_e(X_n=e)$. The local limit ...
