A graph may be regarded as an electrical network in which each edge has unit resistance. We obtain explicit formulae for the effective resistance of the network when a current enters at one vertex and leaves at another in the distance-regular case. A well-known link with random walks motivates a conjecture about the maximum effective resistance. Arguments are given that point to the truth of the conjecture for all known distance-regular graphs.

AbstractWe prove the law of large numbers for the drift of random walks on the two-dimensional lamplighter group, under the assumption that the random walk has finite $$(2+\epsilon )$$ ( 2 + ϵ ) -moment. This result is in contrast with classical examples of abelian groups, where the displacement after n steps, normalised by its mean, does not concentrate, and the limiting distribution of the normalised n-step displacement admits a density whose support is $$[0,\infty )$$ [ 0 , ∞ ) . We study further examples of groups, some with random walks satisfying LLN for drift and other examples where such concentration phenomenon does not hold, and study relation of this property with asymptotic geometry of groups.
