Abstract

Recently, we obtained a law of large numbers for random walks on weighted (infinite supercritical) Galton-Watson trees. The rate of escape (the speed) is given in terms of effectiveconductances. In some particular cases, we proved that the speed is strictly smaller than the speed of simple random walk on Galton--Watson trees. The proof relies on finding a reversible measure for the environment seen from the particle. First, we want to extent these ideas to random unimodular networks and second, we want to use the stationary measure above to prove a Central Limit Theorem in the general setting. (AU)
