Abstract: We consider a regular Riemannian cover $M$ of a compact Riemannian manifold. The linear drift $ell$ and the Kaimanovich entropy $h$ are geometric invariants defined by asymptotic properties of the Brownian motion on $M$. We show that $el{l}^{2}leqh$.

Review text

For a Brownian motion on a regular Riemannian cover of a compact Riemannian manifold, the author investigates the relations between the so-called linear drift \(l\) (introduced by Guivarc'h) and Kaimanivich's entropy \(h\). The main result of the paper is that \(l^2\leq h\).
