study conditions for the existence of the asymptotic shape for subadditive
processes defined on Cayley graphs of finitely generated groups with polynomial
growth. We will focus our attention on the cases of First-Passage Percolation
and the Frog Model. The considered class of graphs is an algebraic generalization
of the hypercubic Z^d lattice, and the related limiting shape results combine
probability with techniques from geometric group theory. This talk is based on
a joint work with Cristian Coletti.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><br><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%" lang="EN-US"></span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%" lang="EN-US"><span></span></span></p>
