Abstract:
We study the action of the affine group G on the space X of k-dimensional affine subspaces of the d-dimensional affine space. More precisely, given a compactly-supported Zariski dense probability measure on G, we want to know when the associated random walk on X is positively recurrent or, equivalently, when does X supports a stationary probability measure. We show, with C. Bruere, that this is the case if and only if at most k Lyapunov exponents are non negative. In particular, when the probability measure is symmetric, positive recurrence happens if and only if the dimension k is at least half the dimension d.
