| contents | Alessandro Figà-Talamanca (1938-2023) was an influential Italian mathematician, scientific leader of the Italian group of harmonic analysis for many years. Since the late 1970ies, his interest focussed on harmonic analysis on free groups and trees. In the later years of his scientific work he became also interested in diffusion processes on homogeneous ultrametric spaces such as local fields and totally disconnected Abelian groups. This is related with the close connection of those spaces with trees and their boundaries and concerns, in particular, the construction of such processes via discrete-time walks on trees. The present notes provide rather detailed comments on this part of his work and the related, quite abundant literature. This is intended to become part of a volume of selected papers by Figà-Talamanca, accompanied by comments such as the present text. |
