摘要
In this survey talk, I will introduce some recent developments on multiplicative random walks. It is an object developed to model important arithmetic functions, and it has attracted attention from both the number theory and probability communities. I will focus more on its probabilistic aspects, e.g., moments, CLT, large fluctuation, and its connection to Gaussian multiplicative chaos.
