On Rapid mixing for random walks on nilmanifolds
Abstract
We prove rapid mixing for almost all random walks generated by m translations on an arbitrary nilmanifold under mild assumptions on the size of m. For several classical classes of nilmanifolds, we show m=2 suffices. This provides a partial answer to the question raised in D02 about the prevalence of rapid mixing for random walks on homogeneous spaces.
