Coarse geometry and randomness : École d'Été de Probabilités de Saint-Flour XLI - 2011 /

These lecture notes study the interplay between randomness and geometry of graphs. The first part of the notes reviews several basic geometric concepts, before moving on to examine the manifestation of the underlying geometry in the behavior of random processes, mostly percolation and random walk. T...
