%0 Journal Article %T Poisson Boundaries of Lamplighter Groups: Proof of the Kaimanovich-Vershik Conjecture %A Russell Lyons %A Yuval Peres %J Mathematics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X We answer positively a question of Kaimanovich and Vershik from 1979, showing that the final configuration of lamps for simple random walk on the lamplighter group over ${\Bbb Z}^d$ ($d \ge 3$) is the Poisson boundary. For $d \ge 5$, this had been shown earlier by Erschler (2011). We extend this to walks of more general types on more general groups. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.01845v2
