We investigate a class of line ensembles whose local structure is described by independent geometric random walk bridges, which have been conditioned to interlace with each other. The latter arise naturally in the context Schur processes,…
We study branching random walks in random environment on the $d$-dimensional square lattice, $d \geq 1$. In this model, the environment has finite range dependence, and the population size cannot decrease. We prove limit theorems (laws of…
For a subfamily of multiplicative measures on integer partitions we give conditions for properly rescaled associated Young diagrams to converge in probability to a certain deterministic curve named the limit shape of partitions. We provide…
We ascertain the diffusively scaled limit of a periodic Lorentz process in a strip with an almost reflecting wall at the origin. Here, almost reflecting means that the wall contains a small hole waning in time. The limiting process is a…
We investigate the small scale equidistribution properties of random waves in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. Numerical evidence suggests that such objects display a fine scale filament structure. We show that the X-ray along any line segment is…
We consider non-bijective piecewise rotations of the plane. These maps belong to a family introduced in previous papers by Boshernitzan and Goetz. We derive in this paper some upper bounds to the size of the limit set. This improves results…
A celebrated result of Kerov-Vershik and Logan-Shepp gives an asymptotic shape for large partitions under the Plancherel measure. We prove that when we consider $e$-regularisations of such partitions we still have a convex limit shape,…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the first, second, and so on rows of stochastically decaying partitions. We establish that, with appropriate scaling in time and length, the sequence of rows converges to the Airy$_2$ line…
We investigate equal spheres packings generated from several experiments and from a large number of different numerical simulations. The structural organization of these disordered packings is studied in terms of the network of common…
We consider a long-range interacting particle system in which binary particles -- whose initial states are chosen uniformly at random -- are located at the nodes of a flat torus $(\mathbb{Z}/h\mathbb{Z})^2$. Each node of the torus is…
This study extends a prior investigation of limit shapes for partitions of integers, which was based on analysis of sums of geometric random variables. Here we compute limit shapes for grand canonical Gibbs ensembles of partitions of sets,…
We study the volume of rigid loop-$O(n)$ quadrangulations with a boundary of length $2p$ in the non-generic critical regime. We prove that, as the half-perimeter $p$ goes to infinity, the volume scales in distribution to an explicit random…
Suppose some random resource (energy, mass or space) $\chi \geq 0$ is to be shared at random between (possibly infinitely many) species (atoms or fragments). Assume ${\Bbb E}\chi =\theta <\infty $ and suppose the amount of the individual…
We study the shape of the outer envelope of a branching Brownian motion (BBM) in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$. We focus on the extremal particles: those whose norm is within $O(1)$ of the maximal norm amongst the particles alive at time $t$.…
We analyse the equilibrium pile-up configurations of infinite periodic walls of edge dislocations which are forced against an impenetrable obstacle by a constant applied shear stress. Numerically generated density distributions exhibit two…
The dynamics of a point particle in a periodic array of spherical scatterers converges, in the limit of small scatterer size, to a random flight process, whose paths are piecewise linear curves generated by a Markov process with memory two.…
The influence of different boundary conditions on the density of random packings of disks is studied. Packings are generated using the random sequential adsorption algorithm with three different types of boundary conditions: periodic, open,…

We consider line ensembles of non-intersecting random walks constrained by a hard wall, each tilted by the area underneath it with geometrically growing pre-factors $\mathfrak{b}^i$ where $\mathfrak{b}>1$. This is a model for the level…
We study the spatial Gibbs random graphs introduced in [MV16] from the point of view of local convergence. These are random graphs embedded in an ambient space consisting of a line segment, defined through a probability measure that favors…
