Abstract:We survey the published work of Harry Kesten in probability theory, with emphasis on his contributions to random walks, branching processes, percolation, and related topics.
“…In this memoir, we do not aim at a comprehensive survey but, instead, to select and describe some high points. Our selection is personal by necessity, and readers desirous of a more comprehensive account are referred to [2,7]. Random walks on groups.…”
