Large deviations and rate of escape for hyperbolic random walks

Abstract: Let

G a m m a

be a countable group acting on a geodesic hyperbolic metric space

X

and

m u

a probability measure on

G a m m a

which generates a non elementary semi-group. Under the necessary assumption that

m u

has a finite exponential moment, we establish large deviations results for the distance of a random walk with driving measure

m u

.
