Abstract
In this paper, we study quasi-symmetric random walks and Lévy processes, a property first introduced by C.J. Stone, discuss the α-invariant Radon measures for random walks and Lévy processes, and formulate some nice ratio limit theorems which are closely related to α-invariant Radon measures.
