We propose a field-theoretical approach to a polymer system immersed in an ideal mixture of clustering centers. The system contains several species of these clustering centers with different functionality, each of which connects a fixed…

In this paper we study the conditional limit theorems for critical continuous-state branching processes with branching mechanism $\psi(\lambda)=\lambda^{1+\alpha}L(1/\lambda)$ where $\alpha\in [0,1]$ and $L$ is slowly varying at $\infty$.…

For a branching process in random environment it is assumed that the offspring distribution of the individuals varies in a random fashion, independently from one generation to the other. Interestingly there is the possibility that the…
