Abstract

We show the exact dimensionality of harmonic measures associated with random walks on groups acting on a hyperbolic space under a finite first moment condition, and establish the dimension formula by the entropy over the drift. We also treat the case when a group acts on a non-proper hyperbolic space acylindrically. Applications of this formula include continuity of the Hausdorff dimension with respect to driving measures and Brownian motions on regular coverings of a finite volume Riemannian manifold.
