Abstract: This paper analyses the statistics of visits to a site in random walks. First general formulas will be derived, and next they will be applied to simple symmetric random walks on finite and infinite lattices; the dependence of the statistics on the lattices dimensionality will also be studied. Finally, an application will be presented to explain the structure of the radio-maps that trace the supernova remnants.
