Random length-spectrum rigidity for free groups

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We say that a subset S⊆FNS\subseteq F_N is \emph{spectrally rigid} if whenever T1,T2∈cvNT_1, T_2\in cv_N are points of the (unprojectivized) Outer space such that ∣∣g∣∣T1=∣∣g∣∣T2||g||_{T_1}=||g||_{T_2} for every g∈Sg\in S then T1=T2T_1=T_2 in $\cvn$. It is well-known that FNF_N itself is spectrally rigid; it also follows from the result of Smillie and Vogtmann that there does not exist a finite spectrally rigid subset of FNF_N. We prove that if AA is a free basis of FNF_N (where N≥2N\ge 2) then almost every trajectory of a non-backtracking simple random walk on FNF_N with respect to AA is a spectrally rigid subset of FNF_N.
