Consider a one-dimensional branching Brownian motion, and rescale the coordinate and time so that the rates of branching and diffusion are both equal to $1$. If $X_1(t)$ is the position of the rightmost particle of the branching Brownian…

For the first time, the energy diffusion approximation is confronted at the percent level with the exact numerical modeling of thermal decay of a metastable state. The latter is performed using the quasistationary decay rates resulting from…

We calculate the exact asymptotic survival probability, Q, of a one-dimensional Brownian particle, initially located located at the point x in (-L,L), in the presence of two moving absorbing boundaries located at \pm(L+ct). The result is…

We analyze the Brownian Motion limit of a prototypical unit step reinforced random-walk on the half line. A reinforced random walk is one which changes the weight of any edge (or vertex) visited to increase the frequency of return visits.…

We study a model for a random walk of two classes of particles (A and B). Where both species are present in the same site, the motion of A's takes precedence over that of B's. The model was originally proposed and analyzed in Maragakis et…

We consider a discrete-time branching random walk defined on the real line, which is assumed to be supercritical and in the boundary case. It is known that its leftmost position of the $n$-th generation behaves asymptotically like…

We consider the long-range random conductance model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ at the critical exponent: the jump rate between sites $x$ and $y$ decays as $\mathbf{a}(x,y) |x-y|^{-(d+2)}$, where $\mathbf{a}(x,y)$ are i.i.d. uniformly elliptic…

We consider random walks, say $W_n=(M_0, M_1,\dots, M_n)$, of length $n$ starting at 0 and based on the martingale sequence $M_k$ with differences $X_m=M_m-M_{m-1}$. Assuming that the differences are bounded, $|X_m|\leq 1$, we solve the…
