Measured groupoids and the Choquet-Deny property

Abstract:

A countable discrete group is called Choquet-Deny if for every non-degenerate probability measure on the group, the corresponding space of bounded harmonic functions is trivial. Recently a complete characterization of Choquet-Deny groups was obtained by Frisch, Hartman, Tamuz and Ferdowsi. In this talk, we will look at the extension of the Choquet-Deny property to the framework of discrete measured groupoids. Our main result gives a complete characterisation of this property in terms of the associated measured equivalence relation and the isotropy groups of the groupoid. This talk is based on a joint work with Tey Berendschot, Milan Donvil, Mario Klisse and Se-Jin Kim.
