The Poisson boundary of random rational affinities
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 56 (2006) no. 2, p. 499-515

We prove that in order to describe the Poisson boundary of rational affinities, it is necessary and sufficient to consider the action on real and all p-adic fileds.

On prouve que pour décrire la frontière de Poisson des affinités à coefficients rationnels est nécessaire et suffisant de considérer l’action sur le corps réel et tous les corps p-adiques.
