Random walks and isoperimetric profiles under moment conditions (Q504260)

Let \(G\) be a finitely generated group equipped with a finite symmetric generating set and the associated word length function \(\left| \cdot \right| \). The main aim of this paper is to study the behaviour of the probability of return for a random walk driven by a symmetric measure \(\mu \) such that \(\sum \rho (\left| x\right| )\mu (x)<\infty \) for a slowly varying function \(\rho\). The authors present new relations between the isoperometric profiles associated with different symmetric probability measures and a sharp \(L^{2}\)-version of Erschler's inequality concerning Følner functions of wreath products. Some applications of the obtained results are also presented.
