In this paper, we provide a concrete construction of Furstenberg entropy values of [Formula: see text]-boundaries of the group [Formula: see text] by choosing an appropriate random walk [Formula: see text]. We show that the boundary entropy spectrum can be realized as the subsum-set for any given finite sequence of positive numbers.
Let Γ \Gamma be a countable discrete group and let H H be a lcsc totally disconnected group, L L a compact open subgroup of H H , and ρ : Γ → H \rho : \Gamma \rightarrow H a homomorphism with dense image. In this paper we construct, for every bi- L L -invariant probability measure θ \theta on H H , an explicit Furstenberg discretization τ \tau of θ \theta such that the Poisson boundary ( B θ , ν θ ) (B_\theta ,\nu _\theta ) of ( H , θ ) (H,\theta ) is a τ \tau -boundary, where Γ \Gamma acts on B θ B_\theta via the homomorphism ρ \rho . We also provide several criteria for when this τ \tau -boundary is maximal. Our technique can for instance be used to construct examples of finitely supported random walks on certain lamplighter groups and solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups, whose Poisson boundaries are prime, but not L p L^p -irreducible for any p ≥ 1 p \geq 1 , answering a conjecture of Bader-Muchnik in the negative. Furthermore, we provide the first example of a countable discrete group Γ \Gamma and two spread-out probability measures τ 1 \tau _1 and τ 2 \tau _2 on Γ \Gamma such that the boundary entropy spectrum of ( Γ , τ 1 ) (\Gamma ,\tau _1) is an interval, while the boundary entropy spectrum of ( Γ , τ 2 ) (\Gamma ,\tau _2) is a Cantor set.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
