Abstract: In this paper we study asymptotic properties of symmetric and non-degenerate random walks on transient hyperbolic groups. We prove a central limit theorem and a law of iterated logarithm for the drift of a random walk, extending previous results by S. Sawyer and T. Steger and F. Ledrappier for certain CAT minus one groups. The proofs use a result by A. Ancona on the identification of the Martin boundary of a hyperbolic group with its Gromov boundary. We also give a new interpretation, in terms of Hilbert metrics, of the Green metric, first introduced by S. Brofferio and S. Blachere.

Review text

This paper proves a central limit theorem and a law of iterated logarithm for symmetric and nondegenerate random walks on transient hyperbolic groups, extending previous results for certain CAT\((-1)\)-groups. If \((X,d)\) is a Gromov hyperbolic space satisfying certain conditions, and \(\mu\) is a symmetric probability measure on \(\Gamma\), also satisfying certain conditions, then there is a positive constant \(\sigma\) such that \[ {1 \over \sqrt{n}}\left(d(Z_n x_0,x_0)-nA(\mu)\right) \] converges weakly to a nondegenerate Gaussian distribution and \[ \limsup_{n \to \infty} {d(Z_nx_0,x_0)-nA(\mu)) \over \sqrt{n \log n \log n}}=\sigma>0 \text{ a.s. } \]
