Published  December 2020

We present three results of Sébastien Gouëzel's: the local limit theorem for random walks on hyperbolic groups, a multiplicative ergodic theorem for non-expansive mappings (joint work with Anders Karlsson), and the description of the essential spectrum of the Laplacian on $ SL(2,{\mathbb R}) $ orbits in the moduli space (joint work with Artur Avila).

Keywords: Limit theorems, spectral gap.
