Random walks on \({\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)\times {\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)\)
Abstract:
We will give a taste of the flavors of math that constitute the study of random walks on compact groups, followed by which we will describe the author's work with Prof. Golsefidy in solving a question of Lindenstrauss and Varju. Namely, can the spectral gap of a random walk on a product of groups be related to those of the projections onto its factors.
