Abstract:Let $(G, \mu)$ be a discrete symmetric random walk on a compact Lie group $G$ with step distribution $\mu$ and let $T_{\mu}$ be the associated transition operator on $L^2(G)$. The irreducibles $V_{\rho}$ of the left regular representation of $G$ on $L^2(G)$ are finite dimensional invariant subspaces for $T_{\mu}$ and the spectrum of $T_{\mu}$ is the union of the sub-spectra $\sigma(T_{\mu}\upharpoonleft_{V_{\rho}})$ on the irreducibles, which consist of real eigenvalues $\{ \lambda_{\rho 1},...,\lambda_{\rho \dim V_{\rho}}\}$. Our main result is an asymptotic expansion for the spectral measures

\begin{displaymath}m_{\rho}^{\mu}(\lambda) := \frac{1}{\dim V_{\rho}} \sum_{j=1}^{\dim V_{\rho}} \delta(\lambda - \lambda_{\rho j})\end{displaymath}

along rays of representations in a positive Weyl chamber $\mathbf{t}^*_+$, i.e. for sequences of representations $k \rho$, $k\in \mathbb{N} $ with $k\rightarrow \infty$. As a corollary we obtain some estimates on the spectral radius of the random walk. We also analyse the fine structure of the spectrum for certain random walks on $U(n)$ (for which $T_{\mu}$ is essentially a direct sum of Harper operators).
