%0 Journal Article %T Random walk questions for linear quantum groups %A Teodor Banica %A Julien Bichon %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X We study the discrete quantum groups $\Gamma$ whose group algebra has an inner faithful representation of type $\pi:C^*(\Gamma)\to M_K(\mathbb C)$. Such a representation can be thought of as coming from an embedding $\Gamma\subset U_K$. Our main result, concerning a certain class of examples of such quantum groups, is an asymptotic convergence theorem for the random walk on $\Gamma$. The proof uses various algebraic and probabilistic techniques. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.1048v5
