DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/WienGAGT/15/
 ">Random walks on WPD groups</a>\nby Joseph Maher (CSI CUNY) as part of Vi
 enna Geometry and Analysis on Groups Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe'll introduc
 e the WPD property for groups\, which can be thought of as a discreteness 
 property for the action of a group on a space which need not be locally co
 mpact. More precisely\, the action of a group on a Gromov hyperbolic space
  X is WPD if the action is coarsely discrete along the quasi-axis of a lox
 odromic isometry. We'll give some examples of WPD groups\, which include t
 he mapping class group of a surface and Out(F_n)\, and consider when the a
 ction of a group on a quotient of X might still satisfy the WPD property. 
  We'll also show that WPD elements are generic for random walks on WPD gro
 ups. This includes joint work with Hidetoshi Masai\, Saul Schleimer and Gi
 ulio Tiozzo.\n
