Abstract: | The internal diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) has been introduced by Diaconis and Fulton Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Pol. Torino
49, 95–119 (1991)]. It is a growth model defined on an infinite set and associated to a Markov chain on this set. We focus here
on sets which are finitely generated groups with exponential growth. We prove a shape theorem for the internal DLA on such
groups associated to symmetric random walks. For that purpose, we introduce a new distance associated to the Green function,
which happens to have some interesting properties. In the case of homogeneous trees, we also get the right order for the fluctuations
of that model around its limiting shape.
