Isoperimetric profile and random walks on locally compact solvable groups (Q1955681)

The author studies the general \(L^p\)-isoperimetric profiles \(j_{p,G}\) as well as the \(L^p\)-isoperimetric profiles \(J_{p,G}\) inside balls on locally compact, compactly generated groups \(G\). It is shown that these profiles for subgroups and quotients are bounded by those of the groups, and that these profiles have the same asymptotic behavior for quasi-isometric groups. Moreover, the author shows that for geometrically elementary solvable groups with exponential growth, \(j_{p,G}(t)\) behaves like \(\ln t\). Furthermore, solvable algebraic groups over local fields are studied. Finally, applications to return probabilities for symmetric random walks are presented where, as a consequence, an exponential decay of order \(n^{-1/3}\) appears.
