Random walks with bounded first moment on finite volume spaces
Abstract:
We consider a finite volume homogeneous space endowed with a random walk whose driving measure is Zariski-dense. In the case where jumps have finite exponential moment, Eskin-Margulis and Benoist-Quint established recurrence properties for such a walk. I will explain how their results can be extended to walks with finite first moment. The key is to make sense of the following claim: "the walk in a cusp goes down faster that some iid Markov chain on R with negative mean". Joint work with N. de Saxcé.
