This work is motivated by the study of some two-dimensional random walks in random environment (RWRE) with transition probabilities independent of one coordinate of the walk. These are non-reversible models and can not be treated by…
Multifractal properties of the distribution of topological invariants for a model of trajectories randomly entangled with a nonsymmetric lattice of obstacles are investigated. Using the equivalence of the model to random walks on a locally…
Motivated by numerous questions in random geometry, given a smooth manifold $M$, we approach a systematic study of the differential topology of Gaussian random fields (GRF) $X:M\to \mathbb{R}^k$, that we interpret as random variables with…
The path integral for higher-derivative quantum gravity with torsion is considered. Applying the methods of two-dimensional quantum gravity, this path integral is analyzed in the limit of conformally self-dual metrics. A scaling law for…

We review two examples where the linear response of a neuronal network submitted to an external stimulus can be derived explicitely, including network parameters dependence. This is done in a statistical physics-like approach where one…
The Semi-Markov property of Continuous Time Random Walks (CTRWs) and their limit processes is utilized, and the probability distributions of the bivariate Markov process $(X(t),V(t))$ are calculated: $X(t)$ is a CTRW limit and $V(t)$ a…
We review recent progress in our understanding of the nature of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and in particular, of the relationship between short GRBs and long GRBs. The first example of a short GRB is described. The coincidental occurrence of a…
A recently introduced extension of the Corner Transfer Matrix Renormalisation Group (CTMRG) method useful for the study of self-avoiding walk type models is presented in detail and applied to a class of interacting self-avoiding walks due…
We present some results coming from a Monte Carlo simulation of a set of random paths with a curvature dependent action. This model can be considered as a toy model of the theory of random surfaces. The transition from free to rigid random…
Starting from a continuous time random walk (CTRW) model of particles that may evanesce as they walk, our goal is to arrive at macroscopic integro-differential equations for the probability density for a particle to be found at point r at…
We study coarse-grained density fluctuations in the disordered phase of the paradigmatic Vicsek-like models of self-propelled particles with alignment interactions and random self-propulsion velocities. By numerically integrating a…
Biochemical pathways emerge from a series of Brownian collisions between various types of biological macromolecules within separate cellular compartments and in highly viscous cytosol. Functioning of biochemical networks suggests that such…
We will investigate two models which exhibit SSB in the canonical approach: the N=1 and N=2 linear sigma model. In both models the Green's functions and the effective potential will be computed in the path-integral approach. We will…
Gaussian graphical models (GGMs) are widely used for statistical modeling, because of ease of inference and the ubiquitous use of the normal distribution in practical approximations. However, they are also known for their limited modeling…
We present a novel RG approach to 2D random XY models using direct and replicated Coulomb gas methods. By including fusion of environments (charge fusion in the replicated CG) it follows the distribution of local disorder, found to obey a…
Brownian motion is a well-known model for normal diffusion, but not all physical phenomena behave according to a Brownian motion. Many phenomena exhibit irregular diffusive behavior, called anomalous diffusion. Examples of anomalous…
We investigate generalizations of the Cram\'er theorem. This theorem asserts that a Gaussian random variable can be decomposed into the sum of independent random variables if and only if they are Gaussian. We prove asymptotic counterparts…
This is an overview of some of the invariants that were discovered by Welschinger in the context of enumerative real algebraic geometry. Their definition finds a natural setup in real symplectic geometry. In particular, they can be studied…
The Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber (GRW) theory of spontaneous collapse offers a possible resolution of the quantum measurement problem. In this theory, the wave function of a particle spontaneously and repeatedly localises to one or the other…
