Abstract：

A random walk on a line is one of the central concepts of probability theory. Despite the simplicity of its construction, it serves as a basic example for various models of both theoretical and applied nature.

We will begin by examining several classic results of an extremely general nature, where the distribution of the walk's step plays only a secondary role. After that, we will discuss how these results can be generalized to the multidimensional case.
