Random walk on groups has applications (people really do shuffle cards and random walk models are basic tools in physics, chemistry, biology and finance. At the same time, it calls for detailed knowledge of the character theory of the group being studied. I will explain the applications and one striking conjecture: For any finite simple group and any set of generators the associated random walk has a ‘cutoff’ in its convergence to uniformity.
