Key features:
* definition and detailed analysis of the Martin compactifications
* new geometric Compactification, defined in terms of the Tits building, that coincides with the Martin Compactification at the bottom of the positive spectrum.
* geometric, non-inductive, description of the Karpelevic Compactification
* study of the well-know isomorphism between the Satake compactifications and the Furstenberg compactifications
* systematic and clear progression of topics from geometry to analysis, and finally to random walks
The work is largely self-contained, with comprehensive references to the literature. It is an excellent resource for both researchers and graduate students.
