Let \(P\) be a probability on a finite group \(G\), \(P^{(n)}=P \ast \ldots\ast P\) (\(n\) times) be an \(n\)-fold convolution of \(P\). If \(n \rightarrow \infty\), then under mild conditions \(P^{(n)}\) converges to the uniform probability \(U(g)=\frac 1{|G|}\) \((g\in G)\). We study the case when...
