Description
Abstract. In this talk, we will present some Galois theoretic tools to study large steps walks confined in the quadrant. We generalize in particular the notion of group of the walk introduced by Bousquet-Mélou and Mishna for small steps walk to the large steps framework. This allows to develop algorithms and criteria to test the existence of invariants and decoupling functions. This is a collaboration with Pierre Bonnet (Labri).
