Abstract

This paper is concerned with random walks on countable groups. After the introduction of the main concepts three special subjects are treated: random walks on free groups with a finite number of generators, random walks on certain non-abelian extensions of the additive groups Z d and random walks on groups with a stochastic colouring.
