Matrix random products with singular harmonic measure

Any Zariski dense countable subgroup of $SL(d,R)$ is shown to carry a non-degenerate finitely supported symmetric random walk such that its harmonic measure on the flag space is singular. The main ingredients of the proof are: (1) a new upper estimate for the Hausdorff dimension of the projections of the harmonic measure onto Grassmannians in $R^d$ in terms of the associated differential entropies and differences between the Lyapunov exponents; (2) an explicit construction of random walks with uniformly bounded entropy and Lyapunov exponents going to infinity.

Dimensional properties of the harmonic measure for a random walk on a hyperbolic group

This paper deals with random walks on isometry groups of Gromov hyperbolic spaces, and more precisely with the dimension of the harmonic measure $ν$ associated with such a random walk. We first establish a link of the form $\dim ν\leq h/l$ between the dimension of the harmonic measure, the asymptotic entropy $h$ of the random walk and its rate of escape $l$. Then we use this inequality to show that the dimension of this measure can be made arbitrarily small and deduce a result on the type of the harmonic measure.
