Let K be a finite graph with vertex set V = {x 0, x 1, …, xσ –1} and automorphism group G. It is assumed that G acts transitively on V. We can imagine that the vertices of K represent σ cities and a traveler visits the cities in a series of random flights. The traveler starts at a given city and in each flight, independently of the past journey, chooses a city at random as the destination. Denote by vn (n = 1, 2, …) the location of the traveler at the end of the nth flight, and by v 0 the initial location. It is assumed that the transition probabilities P{vn = xj | vn –1 = xi }, xi ϵ V, xj ϵ V, do not depend on n and are invariant under the action of G on V. The main result of this paper consists in determining p(n), the probability that the traveler returns to the initial position at the end of the nth flight.

AbstractPorous materials, concentrated colloidal suspensions are example of confining systems developing large specific surface and presenting a rich variety of shapes. Such an interfacial confinement strongly influences the molecular dynamics of embedded fluids and the diffusive motion of entrapped Brownian particles. An individual trajectory near the interface can be described as an alternate succession of adsorption steps and random flights in the bulk. Statistical properties of these random flights in various interfacial confining systems are determinant to understand the full transport process. Related to first passage processes, these properties play a central role in numerous problems such as the mean first exit time in a bounded domain, heterogeneous catalytic reactivity and nuclear magnetic relaxation in complex and biological fluids. In the present work, we first consider the various possibilities to connect two points of a smooth interface by a random flight in the bulk. Second, we analyze at the theoretical and experimental points of view a way to probe Brownian flights statistics. Implications concerning diffusive transport in disordered porous materials are discussed.
