Abstract

For a large class of Markov operators on trees we prove the formula ${\bf HD}\,\nu=h/l$ connecting the Hausdorff dimension of the harmonic measure $\nu$ on the tree boundary, the rate of escape $l$ and the asymptotic entropy $h$. Applications of this formula include random walks on free groups, conditional random walks, random walks in random environment and random walks on treed equivalence relations.
