In this paper we study convergence of random walks, on finite quantum groups, arising from linear combination of irreducible characters. We bound the distance to the Haar state and determine the asymptotic behavior, i.e. the limit state if…

We study synchronization of random one-dimensional linear maps for which the Lyapunov exponent can be calculated exactly. Certain aspects of the dynamics of these maps are explained using their relation with a random walk. We confirm that…

We consider skew tent maps $T_{{\alpha}, {\beta}}(x)$ such that $( {\alpha}, {\beta})\in[0,1]^{2}$ is the turning point of $T {_ { {\alpha}, {\beta}}}$, that is, $T_{{\alpha}, {\beta}}=\frac{{\beta}}{{\alpha}}x$ for $0\leq x \leq {\alpha}$…

Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda\subseteq G$ a lattice, and $X=G/\Lambda$. We fix a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ and consider the left random walk induced on $X$. It is assumed that $\mu$ is aperiodic, has a finite first moment,…

Using the discrepancy metric, we analyze the rate of convergence of a random walk on the circle generated by d rotations, and establish sharp rates that show that badly approximable d-tuples in R^d give rise to walks with the fastest…

We study a random walk in a N dimensional hypercube and exhibit results about stopping times when N diverges. The first theorem discusses the time in which two coupling processes spend to meet. A corollary provides a majorant for the…

We consider three kinds of discrete-time arrival processes: transient, intermediate and recurrent, characterized by a finite, possibly finite and infinite number of events, respectively. In this context, we study renewal processes which are…

We study symmetric random walks on finitely generated groups of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the real line. We establish an oscillation property for the induced Markov chain on the line that implies a weak form of recurrence.…

We review results on linearly edge-reinforced random walks. On finite graphs, the process has the same distribution as a mixture of reversible Markov chains. This has applications in Bayesian statistics and it has been used in studying the…

We study models of continuous time, symmetric, $\Z^d$-valued random walks in random environments. One of our aims is to derive estimates on the decay of transition probabilities in a case where a uniform ellipticity assumption is absent. We…

We consider random walks in a random environment that is given by i.i.d. Dirichlet distributions at each vertex of Z^d or, equivalently, oriented edge reinforced random walks on Z^d. The parameters of the distribution are a 2d-uplet of…

We study dynamic random conductance models on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ in which the environment evolves as a reversible Markov process that is stationary under space-time shifts. We prove under a second moment assumption that two conditionally…

We study distributions of meeting times for finite symmetric Markov chains. For Markov kernels defined on large state spaces which satisfy certain weak inhomogeneity in return probabilities of points up to large numbers of steps, we obtain…

We consider a biased random walk in positive random conductances on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d\geq 5$. In the sub-ballistic regime, we prove the quenched convergence of the properly rescaled random walk towards a Fractional Kinetics.

The position density of a "particle" performing a continuous-time quantum walk on the integer lattice, viewed on length scales inversely proportional to the time t, converges (as t tends to infinity) to a probability distribution that…
