Simplicial branching random walks and their applications
  We define a new stochastic process on general simplicial complexes which allows to study their spectral and homological properties. Some results for random walks on graphs are shown to hold in this general setting. As an application, the process is used to calculate the spectral measure of high-dimensional analogues of regular trees and to construct solutions to the high-dimensional Dirichlet problem for forms.
