What is the probability that a random walk in the free group ends in a proper power? Or in a primitive element? We present a formula that computes the exponential decay rate of the probability that a random walk on a regular tree ends in a given subset, in terms of the exponential decay rate of the analogous probability of the non-backtracking random walk. This generalizes the well-known cogrowth formula of Grigorchuk, Cohen and Northshield. We also extend the formula to arbitrary subsets of the biregular tree.

    math.GR 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Free type-preserving actions on biregular trees realize every critical exponent up to (1/2)log(rs); finitely generated actions have a countable dense spectrum, and rank-two values equal roots of three explicit polynom...

    math.CO 2025-02 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    For any non-negative weighting on a (k,l)-bi-regular tree, the growth rate of all walks is determined by the growth rate of non-backtracking walks through Puder's conjectured formula.
