We present an introduction to the theory of Finite Gelfand Pairs and to their application to the study of the asymptotic behaviour of some Markov chains (the Bernoulli-Laplace diffusion model). We shall also present some new examples arising from Geometric Group Theory (self-similar groups, branch groups, the Basilica group, iterated monodromy groups) and the Theory of Association Schemes (generalized wreath products of permutation groups).

Abstract
We present an introduction to the theory of Finite Gelfand Pairs and to their application to the study of the asymptotic behaviour of some Markov chains (the Bernoulli-Laplace diffusion model). We shall also present some new examples arising from Geometric Group Theory (self-similar groups, branch groups, the Basilica group, iterated monodromy groups) and the Theory of Association Schemes (generalized wreath products of permutation groups).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
