Discrete Geometric Analysis: Proceedings of the First JAMS Symposium on Discrete Geometric Analysis, December 12-20, 2003, Sendai, Japan (Contemporary Mathematics)

This book is a collection of papers from the proceedings of the first symposium of the Japan Association for Mathematical Sciences. Topics covered in this book center around problems of geometric analysis in relation to heat kernels, random walks, and Poisson boundaries on discrete groups, graphs, and other combinatorial objects. The material is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in heat kernels and random works on groups and graphs.
