Self-avoiding walks are a simple and well-known model of long, flexible polymers in a good solvent. Polymers being pulled away from a surface by an external agent can be modelled with self-avoiding walks in a half-space, with a Boltzmann…

Let $\{X_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Let $S_k=X_1+...+X_k$ and $Y_n(t)$ be the continuous process on $[0,1]$ for which $Y_n(k/n)=S_k/\sqrt{n}$ $k=1,...,n$ and which is linearly…

We consider the biased random walk on a tree constructed from the set of finite self-avoiding walks on a lattice, and use it to construct probability measures on infinite self-avoiding walks. The limit measure (if it exists) obtained when…

The critical behaviour of directed self-avoiding walks is studied on parabolic-like systems with a free boundary at x=\pm Ct^\alpha. Using a scaling argument, 1/C is shown to be a marginal variable when \alpha=\nu_\perp/\nu_\parallel=1/2,…

In this paper we investigate the class of grey Brownian motions $B_{\alpha,\beta}$ ($0<\alpha<2$, $0<\beta\leq1$). We show that grey Brownian motion admits different representations in terms of certain known processes, such as fractional…

We derive a rate of convergence of the Loewner driving function for planar loop-erased random walk to Brownian motion with speed 2 on the unit circle, the Loewner driving function for radial SLE(2). The proof uses a new estimate of the…

A self-avoiding walk with small attractive interactions is described here. The existence of the connective constant is established, and the diffusive behavior is proved using the method of the lace expansion.

We consider correlated L\'evy walks on a class of two- and three-dimensional deterministic self-similar structures, with correlation between steps induced by the geometrical distribution of regions, featuring different diffusion properties.…

We show that the electrical resistance between the origin and generation n of the incipient infinite oriented branching random walk in dimensions d<6 is O(n^{1-alpha}) for some universal constant alpha>0. This answers a question of Barlow,…

Several kinds of walks on complex networks are currently used to analyze search and navigation in different systems. Many analytical and computational results are known for random walks on such networks. Self-avoiding walks (SAWs) are…

We study the 2-dimensional uniform prudent self-avoiding walk, which assigns equal probability to all nearest-neighbor self-avoiding paths of a fixed length that respect the prudent condition, namely, the path cannot take any step in the…

This paper shows the convergence of adele-valued random walks to an adelic L\'evy process under scaling limits. We use random walks on the $p$-adic numbers to construct random walks initially on the infinite product space, and use survival…

For $d \geq 2$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$ even, let $p_n = p_n(d)$ denote the number of length $n$ self-avoiding polygons in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ up to translation. The polygon cardinality grows exponentially, and the growth rate $\lim_{n \in…

The strong $L^2$-approximation of occupation time functionals is studied with respect to discrete observations of a $d$-dimensional c\`adl\`ag process. Upper bounds on the error are obtained under weak assumptions, generalizing previous…

We introduce a model of self-repelling random walks where the short-range interaction between two elements of the chain decreases as a power of the difference in proper time. Analytic results on the exponent $\nu$ are obtained. They are in…

We study a class of $d$-dimensional random walks, including the two-dimensional simple random walk, reweighted by a self-repelling Gibbsian pair potential. We prove lower bounds on the diffusion constant for short-range interactions, and…

We study the scaling properties of long-range loop-erased random walks (LR-LERW), where the underlying random walker performs L\'evy-flight-like jumps with a power-law step-length distribution $P(\mathbf{r})\sim |\mathbf{r}|^{-(d+\sigma)}$.…

We construct the two-sided infinite self-avoiding walk (SAW) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d\geq5$ and use it to prove pattern theorems for the self-avoiding walk. We show that infinite two-sided SAW is the infinite-shift limit of infinite…

For every bounded planar domain $D$ with a smooth boundary, we define a `Lyapunov exponent' $\Lambda(D)$ using a fairly explicit formula. We consider two reflected Brownian motions in $D$, driven by the same Brownian motion (i.e., a…

Let (Y, Z) denote the solution to a forward-backward SDE. If one constructs a random walk B n from the underlying Brownian motion B by Skorohod embedding, one can show L 2 convergence of the corresponding solutions (Y n , Z n) to (Y, Z). We…
