We consider biased random walks in a one-dimensional percolation model. This model goes back to Axelson-Fisk and H\"aggstr\"om and exhibits the same phase transition as biased random walk on the infinite cluster of supercritical Bernoulli…
We consider the continuous-time random walk of a particle in a two-dimensional self-affine quenched random potential of Hurst exponent $H>0$. The corresponding master equation is studied via the strong disorder renormalization procedure…
Despite decades of research, the precise role of topological disorder in critical phenomena has yet to be fully understood. A major contribution has been the work by Barghathi and Vojta, which uses spatial correlations to explain puzzling…
This paper continues a study initiated in [34], on the localization transition of a lattice free field on $\mathbb Z^d$ interacting with a quenched disordered substrate that acts on the interface when its height is close to zero. The…
The behavior at criticality of spatial SIR (susceptible/infected/recovered) epidemic models in dimensions two and three is investigated. In these models, finite populations of size N are situated at the vertices of the integer lattice, and…
We consider random walks on $\Z^d$ among nearest-neighbor random conductances which are i.i.d., positive, bounded uniformly from above but whose support extends all the way to zero. Our focus is on the detailed properties of the paths of…
We consider a general model of a disordered copolymer with adsorption. This includes, as particular cases, a generalization of the copolymer at a selective interface introduced by Garel et al. [Europhys. Lett. 8 (1989) 9--13], pinning and…
We provide a definition of a new critical exponent $\beta$ that has the interpretation of a type of local walk dimension, and may be defined on any compact metric space. We then specialize to the case of random walks that jump uniformly in…
We study the distribution of dynamical quantities in various one-dimensional, disordered models the critical behavior of which is described by an infinite randomness fixed point. In the {\it disordered contact process}, the quenched…
We give new criteria for ballistic behavior of random walks in random environment which are perturbations of the simple symmetric random walk on $\mathbb Z^d$ in dimensions $d\ge 4$. Our results extend those of Sznitman [Ann. Probab. 31,…
This article investigates the effect for random pinning models of long range power-law decaying correlations in the environment. For a particular type of environment based on a renewal construction, we are able to sharply describe the phase…
A recently developed model of random walks on a $D$-dimensional hyperspherical lattice, where $D$ is {\sl not} restricted to integer values, is extended to include the possibility of creating and annihilating random walkers. Steady-state…
In this work, we characterize cluster-invariant point processes for critical branching spatial processes on R d for all large enough d when the motion law is $\alpha$-stable or has a finite discrete range. More precisely, when the motion is…
For the directed polymer in a random environment (DPRE), two critical inverse-temperatures can be defined. The first one, $\beta_c$, separates the strong disorder regime (in which the normalized partition function $W^{\beta}_n$ tends to…
We consider random walks on the infinite cluster of a conditional bond percolation model on the infinite ladder graph. In a companion paper, we have shown that if the random walk is pulled to the right by a positive bias $\lambda > 0$, then…
A class of discrete renewal processes with super-exponentially decaying inter-arrival distributions coincides with the infinite volume limit of general homogeneous pinning models in their localized phase. Pinning models are statistical…
Random walks on expanders play a crucial role in Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms, derandomization, graph theory, and distributed computing. A desirable property is that they are rapidly mixing, which is equivalent to having a spectral…
We consider - in uniformly strictly convex potential regime - two versions of random gradient models with disorder. In model (A) the interface feels a bulk term of random fields while in model (B) the disorder enters though the potential…
We give a new criterion for ballistic behavior of random walks in random environments which are low disorder perturbations of the simple symmetric random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, for $d\geq 2$. This extends the results established by…
The probability distribution of random walks on linear structures generated by random walks in $d$-dimensional space, $P_d(r,t)$, is analytically studied for the case $\xi\equiv r/t^{1/4}\ll1$. It is shown to obey the scaling form…
