报告摘要: Floyd boundary was introduced by W. Floyd in 1980 to compactify any finitely generated group. In line with Mostow rigidity, Floyd then proved that this boundary recovers the limit set of geometrically finite Kleinian groups via purely group theoretic terms. After the work of Karlsson and Gerasimov, Floyd boundary becomes an important tool in understanding the geometry of relatively hyperbolic groups. Until recently, Floyd boundary found interesting connections and applications in the study of random walks on groups. In this talk, we will discuss the relation with the Martin boundary of random walks, and Hausdorff dimension of the limit sets of branching random walks in Floyd boundary. These are based on joint works with various subsets of Dussaule, Gehktman, Gerasimov, Potaygailo, and Longmin Wang.
