Review text

The present contribution illustrates some probabilistic properties of the free group on two generators via:\N\begin{enumerate}\N\item notions of geometric group theory;\N\N\item via the notion of ``tame Markov chain which has been introduced by the first author and his PhD advisor (in a forthcoming paper, see [\textit{A. Goldsborough} and \textit{A. Sisto}, ``Markov chains on hyperbolic-like groups and quasi-isometries, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2111.09837}]);\N\N\item via the notion of drift (largely used in the theory of random walks on geometric structures). \end{enumerate}\N\NThe main results are Theorems A and B. In Theorem A, the authors determine conditions for the existence of tame Markov chains. In Theorem B, there is a further investigation of the condition of existence of tame Markov chains, thanks to the description of the push forward of certain simple random walks.\N\NWhile the techniques and the methods of proof are typical of the probabilistic group theory and of the geometric group theory, the ideas are perhaps the more interesting aspect of this contribution, since they have the potential of application in many fields of the mathematics (i.e.: mathematical analysis, number theory, combinatorics and ergodic theory).
