Abstract: Let V=mathbbRd be the Euclidean d-dimensional space, mu (resp lambda) a probability measure on the linear (resp affine) group G=GL(V) (resp H=Aff(V)) and assume that mu is the projection of lambda on G. We study asymptotic properties of the iterated convolutions mundeltav (resp lambdandeltav) if vinV, i.e asymptotics of the random walk on V defined by mu (resp lambda), if the subsemigroup TsubsetG (resp. SigmasubsetH) generated by the support of mu (resp lambda) is "large". We show spectral gap properties for the convolution operator defined by mu on spaces of homogeneous functions of degree sgeq0 on V, which satisfy H{"o}lder type conditions. As a consequence of our analysis we get precise asymptotics for the potential kernel Sigma0inftymuk*deltav, which imply its asymptotic homogeneity. Under natural conditions the H-space V is a lambda-boundary; then we use the above results and radial Fourier Analysis on Vsetminus0 to show that the unique lambda-stationary measure ho on V is "homogeneous at infinity" with respect to dilations vightarrowtv (for textgreater0), with a tail measure depending essentially of mu and Sigma. Our proofs are based on the simplicity of the dominant Lyapunov exponent for certain products of Markov-dependent random matrices, on the use of renewal theorems for "tame" Markov walks, and on the dynamical properties of a conditional lambda-boundary dual to V.
