Abstract: We prove Barlow--Bass type resistance estimates for two random walks associated with repeated barycentric subdivisions of a triangle. If the random walk jumps between the centers of triangles in the subdivision that have common sides, the resistance scales as a power of a constant ho which is theoretically estimated to be in the interval 5/4leqslantholeqslant3/2, with a numerical estimate hoapprox1.306. This corresponds to the theoretical estimate of spectral dimension dS between 1.63 and 1.77, with a numerical estimate dSapprox1.74. On the other hand, if the random walk jumps between the corners of triangles in the subdivision, then the resistance scales as a power of a constant hoT=1/ho, which is theoretically estimated to be in the interval 2/3leqslanthoTleqslant4/5. This corresponds to the spectral dimension between 2.28 and 2.38. The difference between ho and hoT implies that the the limiting behavior of random walks on the repeated barycentric subdivisions is more delicate than on the generalized Sierpinski Carpets, and suggests interesting possibilities for further research, including possible non-uniqueness of self-similar Dirichlet forms.
