We study Poissonian ensembles of Markov loops and the associated renormalized self-intersection local times.

Several stochastic processes related to transient L\'evy processes with potential densities $u(x,y)=u(y-x)$, that need not be symmetric nor bounded on the diagonal, are defined and studied. They are real valued processes on a space of…

We consider continuous-time random interlacements on a transient weighted graph. We prove an identity in law relating the field of occupation times of random interlacements at level u to the Gaussian free field on the weighted graph. This…

We study a Volterra Gaussian process of the form $X(t)=\int^t_0K(t,s)d{W(s)},$ where $W$ is a Wiener process and $K$ is a continuous kernel. In dimension one, we prove a law of the iterated logarithm, discuss the existence of local times…

The existence of self-intersection local time (SILT), when the time diagonal is intersected, of the $(\alpha,d,\beta)$-superprocess is proved for $d/2<\alpha $ and for a renormalized SILT when $d/(2+(1+\beta)^{-1})<\alpha \leq d/2$. We also…

Long-time limit of one-dimensional L\'{e}vy processes weighted and normalized with respect to the exponential functional of two-point local times are studied. The limit processes may vary according to the choice of random clocks.

Let $(X_t, t \geq 0)$ be an $\alpha$-stable random walk with values in $\Z^d$. Let $l_t(x) = \int_0^t \delta_x(X_s) ds$ be its local time. For $p>1$, not necessarily integer, $I_t = \sum_x l_t^p(x)$ is the so-called $p$-fold self-…

We base ourselves on the construction of the two-dimensional random interlacements [12] to define the one-dimensional version of the process. For this constructions we consider simple random walks conditioned on never hitting the origin,…

Let \beta_k(n) be the number of self-intersections of order k, appropriately renormalized, for a mean zero random walk X_n in Z^2 with 2+\delta moments. On a suitable probability space we can construct X_n and a planar Brownian motion W_t…

This article addresses a modification of local time for stochastic processes, to be referred to as `natural local time'. It is prompted by theoretical developments arising in mathematical treatments of recent experiments and observations of…

We use the concept of a Kirchhoff resistor network (alternatively random walk on a network) to probe connected graphs and produce symmetry revealing canonical labelings of the graph(s) nodes and edges.

We prove generalizations of the first and second Ray-Knight theorems, for a large class of non-symmetric strong Markov processes. These results link the local times of the Markov process with the squares of associated Gaussian processes.…

In this paper we analyse time change equations (TCEs) for L\'evy-type processes in detail. To this end we establish a connection between TCEs and classical one-dimensional initial value problems (IVPs) which are easier to handle. Properties…

We consider Random Walk in Random Scenery, denoted $X_n$, where the random walk is symmetric on $Z^d$, with $d>4$, and the random field is made up of i.i.d random variables with a stretched exponential tail decay, with exponent $\alpha$…

For spectrally negative L\'evy processes, adapting an approach from \cite{BoLi:sub1} we identify joint Laplace transforms involving local times evaluated at either the first passage times, or independent exponential times, or inverse local…

We prove existence of intersection exponents xi(k,lambda) for biased random walks on d-dimensional half-infinite discrete cylinders, and show that, as functions of lambda, these exponents are real analytic. As part of the argument, we prove…

In this work, we give a closed form and a recurrence relation for a family of time--space harmonic polynomials relative to a L\'{e}vy process. We also state the relationship with the Kailath--Segall (orthogonal) polynomials associated to…

The random interlacement point process (introduced by Sznitman, generalized by Teixeira) is a Poisson point process on the space of labeled doubly infinite nearest neighbour trajectories modulo time-shift on a transient graph $G$. We show…

Several long-time limit theorems of one-dimensional L\'{e}vy processes weighted and normalized by functions of the local time are studied. The long-time limits are taken via certain families of random times, called clocks: exponential…

We give a short overview of the renormalization properties of rectangular Wilson loops, the Polyakov loop correlator and the cyclic Wilson loop. We then discuss how to renormalize loops with more than one intersection, using the simplest…
