Random walks on hyperbolic groups
by
Chris Connell
Indiana University (currently at MSRI)
Coauthors: Roman Muchnik

This is the first of three talks to be given by Roman Muchnik and myself. In this talk I will introduce the concepts of random walks on Gromov hyperbolic groups and CAT(-1) spaces and explain the significance of stationary measures and Poisson boundaries. Lastly, I will provide some motivation and historical background for the questions addressed by the last two talks.
