In this talk\, I will focus on random walks on acylindrically hyperbolic groups\, a class of groups which includes mapping class groups\, Out(F_n)\ , and right-angled Artin and Coxeter groups\, among many others. I will di scuss how a random element of such a group interacts with fixed subgroups\ , especially so-called hyperbolically embedded subgroups. In particular\, I will discuss when the subgroup generated by a random element and a fixed subgroup is a free product\, and I will also describe some of the geometr ic properties of that free product. This is joint work with Michael Hull. \n\n \n\nThis information can also be found on the seminar website. We hop e to see you all there.\n\nLink: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/98910726246?pwd= VHlzTzdTZGtqcHVuWGNKdys4d0FzQT09\n\nZoom ID: 989 1072 6246\n Password: delt a\n DTSTART:20210310T200000Z DTEND:20210310T210000Z SUMMARY:Carolyn Abbott (Columbia University) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/carolyn-abbott-columbia-u niversity-329330 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
