We consider random walk and self-avoiding walk whose 1-step distribution is given by $D$, and oriented percolation whose bond-occupation probability is proportional to $D$. Suppose that $D(x)$ decays as $|x|^{-d-\alpha}$ with $\alpha>0$.…

Motivated by recent experiments, we investigate the scattering properties of percolation clusters generated by numerical simulations on a three dimensional cubic lattice. Individual clusters of given size are shown to present a fractal…

We consider random walks on the surface of the sphere $S_{n-1}$ ($n \geq 2$) of the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $E_n$, in short a hypersphere. By solving the diffusion equation in $S_{n-1}$ we show that the usual law $<r^2 > \varpropto…

We consider the simple random walk on the infinite cluster of a general class of percolation models on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 3$, including Bernoulli percolation as well as models with strong, algebraically decaying correlations. For almost…

We consider critical site percolation ($p=p_c=1/2$) on the triangular lattice $\mathbf{T}$ in two dimensions. We show that the simple random walk on the clusters of open vertices converges in the scaling limit to a continuous diffusion…

We study the behavior of the optimal path between two sites separated by a distance $r$ on a $d$-dimensional lattice of linear size $L$ with weight assigned to each site. We focus on the strong disorder limit, i.e., when the weight of a…

We show that if the three dimensional self-avoiding walk (SAW) is conformally invariant, then one can compute the hitting densities for the SAW in a half space and in a sphere. We test these predictions by Monte Carlo simulations and find…

We study various self-avoiding walks (SAWs) which are constrained to lie in the upper half-plane and are subjected to a compressive force. This force is applied to the vertex or vertices of the walk located at the maximum distance above the…

We introduce the pushy random walk, where a walker can push multiple obstacles, thereby penetrating large distances in environments with finite obstacle density. This process provides a minimal model for experimentally observed interactions…

Random walks describe diffusion processes, where movement at every time step is restricted to only the neighbouring locations. We construct a quantum random walk algorithm, based on discretisation of the Dirac evolution operator inspired by…
