Abstract

We investigate the relationship between geometric, analytic and probabilistic indices for quotients of the Cayley graph of the free group by an arbitrary subgroup of . Our main result, which generalizes Grigorchuk's cogrowth formula to variable edge lengths, provides a formula relating the bottom of the spectrum of weighted Laplacian on to the Poincaré exponent of . Our main tool is the Patterson–Sullivan theory for Cayley graphs with variable edge lengths.
