Spectral gap in the group of affine transformations over prime fields
We study random walks on the groups SL(). We estimate the spectral gap in terms of the spectral gap of the projection to the linear part SL(). This problem is motivated by an analogue in the group SO(), which have application to smoothness of self-similar measures.European Research Council (Advanced Research Grant ID: 267259), ISF (grant ID: 983/09), Simons Foundatio
