听I鈥檒l discuss random walks on manifolds and pose questions of stiffness and rigidity of stationary measures. 听In the case of conservative random walks, I鈥檒l discuss criteria that guarantee stiffness of stationary measures and certain rigidity properties. 听If time, I鈥檒l also discuss some results in the setting of dissipative dynamics.听
