Results on the behaviour of the rightmost particle in the $n$th generation in the branching random walk are reviewed and the phenomenon of anomalous spreading speeds, noticed recently in related deterministic models, is considered. The…

The question how the extremal values of a stochastic process achieved on different time intervals are correlated to each other has been discussed within the last few years on examples of the running maximum of a Brownian motion, of a…

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.…

In this article, we study the maximal displacement of critical branching random walk in random environment. Let $M_n$ be the maximal displacement of a particle in generation $n$, and $Z_n$ be the total population in generation $n$, $M$ be…

We study the large scale behaviour of a population consisting of two types which evolve in dimension d = 1, 2 according to a spatial Lambda- Fleming-Viot process subject to random time-independent selection. If one of the two types is rare…

Consider a branching random walk on the real line. Madaule showed the renormalized trajectory of an individual selected according to the critical Gibbs measure converges in law to a Brownian meander. Besides, Chen proved that the…

Fisher-KPP equation is proved to be the scaling limit of a system of Brownian particles with local interaction. Particles proliferate and die depending on the local concentration of other particles. Opposite to discrete models, controlling…

We study traveling waves of the KPP equation in the half-space with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show that minimal-speed waves are unique up to translation and rotation but faster waves are not. We represent our waves as Laplace…

We study a particle system with the following diffusion-branching-selection mechanism. Particles perform independent one dimensional Brownian motions and on top of that, at a constant rate, a pair of particles is chosen uniformly at random…

Coalescing simple random walks in the plane form an infinite tree. A natural directed distance on this tree is given by the number of jumps between branches when one is only allowed to move in one direction. The Brownian web distance is the…

We consider random variables observed at arrival times of a renewal process, which possibly depends on those observations and has regularly varying steps with infinite mean. Due to the dependence and heavy tailed steps, the limiting…

We study the dynamical aspects of the top rank statistics of particles, performing Brownian motions on a half-line, which are ranked by their distance from the origin. For this purpose, we introduce an observable that we call the overlap…

It is well known that the mean field theory of directed polymers in a random medium exhibits replica symmetry breaking with a distribution of overlaps which consists of two delta functions. Here we show that the leading finite size…
