          Abstract

          We prove that a simple random walk on quasi-transitive graphs with the volume growth being faster than any polynomial of degree 4 has a.s. infinitely many cut times, and hence infinitely many cutpoints. This confirms a conjecture raised by I. Benjamini, O. Gurel-Gurevich and O. Schramm [2011, Cutpoints and resistance of random walk paths, {\it Ann. Probab.} {\bf 39(3)}, 1122-1136] that PATH of simple random walk on any transient vertex-transitive graph has a.s. infinitely many cutpoints in the corresponding case.

            Recurrence of random walk traces

            We show that the edges crossed by a random walk in a network form a recurrent graph a.s. In fact, the same is true when those edges are weighted by the number of crossings.

              A transient Markov chain with finitely many cutpoints

              , , (2008)
              We give an example of a transient reversible Markov chain that almost surely has only a finite number of cutpoints. We explain how this is relevant to a conjecture of Diaconis and Freedman and a question of Kaimanovich. We also answer Kaimanovich's question when the Markov chain is a nearest-neighbor random walk on a tree.
