Additional Information

This course will be an introduction to random walks on finitely generated amenable groups. The emphasize will be on non-abelian groups. In the first part of the course, we will discuss how the notion of volume growth impact problems such as isoperimetry and probability of return to the starting point. We will define the notions of spectral profile and isoperimetric profile and relate these notions to certain functional inequalities.
