For one-dimensional growth processes we consider the distribution of the height above a given point of the substrate and study its scale invariance in the limit of large times. We argue that for self-similar growth from a single seed the…

In a previous work with B. Garcia, the author considered the asymptotic for the second moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions along cosets, and exhibited a surprising secondary main term that is not predicted by the recipe of Conrey, Farmer,…

We determine the distribution of the sandpile group (a.k.a. Jacobian) of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph G(n,q) as n goes to infinity. Since any particular group appears with asymptotic probability 0 (as we show), it is natural ask for…

We study the first and second orders of the asymptotic expansion, as the dimension goes to infinity, of the moments of the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of a uniformly distributed matrix in the p-Schatten unit ball. We consider the case of matrices…

We are interested in the structure of large Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson random trees whose offspring distribution is critical and falls within the domain of attraction of a stable law of index $\alpha=1$. In stark contrast to the case $\alpha…

Our main results in this paper are new equidistributions on plane trees and $132$-avoiding permutations, two closely related objects. As for the former, we discover a characteristic for vertices of plane trees that is equally distributed as…

Weighted recursive trees are built by adding successively vertices with predetermined weights to a tree: each new vertex is attached to a parent chosen randomly proportionally to its weight. Under some assumptions on the sequence of…

We survey recent results on some one- and two-dimensional patterns generated by random permutations of natural numbers. In the first part, we discuss properties of random walks, evolving on a one-dimensional regular lattice in discrete time…

Random walks are used for modeling various dynamics in, for example, physical, biological, and social contexts. Furthermore, their characteristics provide us with useful information on the phase transition and critical phenomena of even…

We show that the dissipative Abelian sandpile on a graph L can be related to a random walk on a graph which consists of L extended with a trapping site. From this relation it can be shown, using exact results and a scaling assumption, that…

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the mean square of truncations of the Dirichlet series of $\zeta(s)^k$. We discuss the connections of this problem with that of the variance of the divisor function in short intervals and in arithmetic…

Chatteerjee and Diaconis have recently shown the asymptotic normality for the joint distribution of the number of descents and inverse descents in a random permutation. A noteworthy point of their results is that the asymptotic variance of…

We produce a new proof of the reciprocity law for the twisted second moment of Dirichlet L-functions that was recently proved by Conrey. Our method is to analyze certain two-variable sums where the variables satisfy a linear congruence. We…

We establish new uniform height inequalities for rational points on higher-dimensional varieties, extending the classical Roth-Schmidt-Subspace paradigm to the Arakelov-theoretic setting. Our main result provides sharp bounds for heights…

We derive a lower bound for a second moment of the reciprocal of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function averaged over the zeros of the zeta-function that is half the size of the conjectured value. Our result is conditional upon the…

We obtain exact formulas for moments and generating functions of the height function of the asymmetric simple exclusion process at one spatial point, starting from special initial data in which every positive even site is initially…

We obtain upper bounds for the rates of convergence for the simple random walk Green's function in the domains $D_\alpha = D_{\alpha}(n)=\{re^{i\theta}\in \mathbb{C}:0 <\theta<2\pi-\alpha, 0<r<2n\}-z_0,$ where $z_0\in\mathbb{Z}^2$ is a…

The {\em height} of a trace is the height of the corresponding heap of pieces in Viennot's representation, or equivalently the number of factors in its Cartier-Foata decomposition. Let $h(t)$ and $|t|$ stand respectively for the height and…

In this paper, we consider a type of continuous time random walk model where the jump length is correlated with the waiting time. The asymptotic behaviors of the coupled jump probability density function in the Fourier-Laplace domain are…

The Riemann walk is the lattice version of the Levy flight. For the one-dimensional Riemann walk of Levy exponent 0<\alpha<2 we study the statistics of the support, i.e. the set of visited sites, after t steps. We consider a wide class of…
