In this paper, we investigate the exact asymptotic behavior of the connectivity probability in the Erdos-Renyi graph G(n,p), under different asymptotic assumptions on the edge probability p=p(n). We propose a novel approach based on the…

Conditions on the generator of a Markov process to control the fluctuations of its bridges are found. In particular, continuous time random walks on graphs and gradient diffusions are considered. Under these conditions, a concentration of…

We study the relation between the growth rate of a graph property and the entropy of the graph limits that arise from graphs with that property. In particular, for hereditary classes we obtain a new description of the colouring number,…

We investigate the paramater of the average range of $M$-Lipschitz mapping of a given graph. We focus on well-known classes such as paths, complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs and cycles and show closed formulas for computing this…

We study an inverse problem on a finite connected graph G = (X, E), on whose vertices a conductivity {\gamma} is defined. Our data consists in a sequence of partial observations of a fractional random walk on G. The observations are partial…

Randomly breaking connections in a graph alters its transport properties, a model used to describe percolation. In the case of quantum walks, dynamic percolation graphs represent a special type of imperfections, where the connections appear…

The Fiedler vector of a graph, namely the eigenvector corresponding to the second smallest eigenvalue of a graph Laplacian matrix, plays an important role in spectral graph theory with applications in problems such as graph bi-partitioning…

Hypergraphs are used in machine learning to model higher-order relationships in data. While spectral methods for graphs are well-established, spectral theory for hypergraphs remains an active area of research. In this paper, we use random…

We consider open quantum walks on a graph, and consider the random variables defined as the passage time and number of visits to a given point of the graph. We study in particular the probability that the passage time is finite, the…

A simple random walk on a graph is a sequence of movements from one vertex to another where at each step an edge is chosen uniformly at random from the set of edges incident on the current vertex, and then transitioned to next vertex.…

We study random walks on Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs in which, every time the random walk returns to the starting point, first an edge probability is independently sampled according to a priori measure $\mu$, and then an Erd\"os-R\'enyi…

This survey is concerned with random walks on mapping class groups. We illustrate how the actions of mapping class groups on Teichm\"uller spaces or curve complexes reveal the nature of random walks, and vice versa. Our emphasis is on the…

On a transient weighted graph, there are two models of random walk which continue after reaching infinity: random interlacements, and random walk reflected off of infinity, recently introduced in arXiv:2506.18827 [math.PR]. We prove these…
