Abstract: A theorem of Bourgain states that the harmonic measure for a domain in $R^d$ is supported on a set of Hausdorff dimension strictly less than $d$ cite{Bourgain}. We apply Bourgain's method to the discrete case, i.e., to the distribution of the first entrance point of a random walk into a subset of $$, $dgeq2$. By refining the argument, we prove that for all $$ there exists $$ and $$, such that for any $$, any $$, and any $Asubset{1,\mathrm{...},n}^d$ ${\displaystyle }$ | {yin�^dcolon u_{A,x}(y) geq n^{-�} }| leq n^{ ho(d,�)}, ${\displaystyle }$ where $u_{A,x}(y)$ denotes the probability that $y$ is the first entrance point of the simple random walk starting at $x$ into $A$. Furthermore, $ho$ must converge to $d$ as $$.

Review text

The authors prove an analogue of a result of Bourgain, to the effect that the harmonic measure for a domain is supported on a set of Hausdorff dimension less than the dimension of space, to the discrete random walk situation. This analogue is stated as an inequality.
