In this paper we consider drift and entropy growth for symmetric finitary random walks on finitely generated groups. We construct examples of various intermediate asymptotics of the drift for such ...

Researchers used algebra and geometry together to solve an old random walk problem. Random walk ideas have informed everything from biology to video games. This team identified a key geometry idea ...
