We discuss a large deviation property of a periodic random walk on a crystal lattice in view of geometry, and relate it to a rational convex polyhedron in the first homology group of a finite graph, which, as we shall observe, has remarkable combinatorial features, and shows up also in the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a crystal lattice.
We discuss a large deviation principle of a periodic random walk on a covering graph with its transformation group of polynomial volume growth in view of geometry. As we shall observe, the behavior
Recently, Ishiwata, Kawabi and Kotani [4] proved two kinds of central limit theorems for non-symmetric random walks on crystal lattices from the view point of discrete geometric analysis developed by

Given a trivalent graph in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space. We call it a discrete surface because it has a tangent space at each vertex determined by its neighbor vertices. To abstract a continuum
The most exciting moment we encounter while studying mathematics is when we observe that a seemingly isolated subject turns out to be connected with other fields in an unexpected way. In the present
