Random walks on finite groups converging after finite number of steps
Let P be a probability on a finite group G, P(n)=P∗…∗P (n times) be an n-fold convolution of P. If n→∞, then under mild conditions P(n) converges to the uniform probability U(g)=1|G| (g∈G). We study the case when the sequence P(n) reaches its limit U after finite number of steps: P(k)=P(k+1)=⋯=U for...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Zusammenfassung: | Let P be a probability on a finite group G, P(n)=P∗…∗P (n times) be an n-fold convolution of P. If n→∞, then under mild conditions P(n) converges to the uniform probability U(g)=1|G| (g∈G). We study the case when the sequence P(n) reaches its limit U after finite number of steps: P(k)=P(k+1)=⋯=U for some k. Let Ω(G) be a set of the probabilities satisfying to that condition. Obviously, U∈Ω(G). We prove that Ω(G)≠U for ``almost all'' non-Abelian groups and describe the groups for which Ω(G)=U. If P∈Ω(G), then P(b)=U, where b is the maximal degree of irreducible complex representations of the group G.
