Random walks on groups and superlinear divergent geodesics

Abstract

In this paper, we study random walks on groups that contain superlinear divergent geodesics, in the line of thoughts of Goldsborough-Sisto. The existence of a superlinear divergent geodesic is a quasi-isometry invariant which allows us to execute Gou\"ezel's pivoting technique. We develop the theory of superlinear divergence and establish a central limit theorem for random walks on these groups.
