The empirical limit measure dimension conjecture for branching random walks on hyperbolic groups
The empirical limit measure dimension conjecture for branching random walks on hyperbolic groups
Let be a non-elementary hyperbolic group generated by a finite set , and let be a probability measure on with . Consider the branching random walk on with growth rate induced by the random walk with transition probabilities . Let be the almost-sure escape rate, let be the visual parameter of the boundary metric on , and let be the empirical limit measure on the accumulation set of the branching random walk. Empirical limit measure dimension conjecture. In this setting, almost surely,
This predicts that the dimension of the support of the empirical limit measure is determined by the ratio of the branching growth rate to the random walk's escape rate and the visual scaling parameter, capped by the dimension of the boundary. The claim is proposed for branching random walks on non-elementary hyperbolic groups; the source does not state a resolution.
