We consider one-dimensional Brownian motion conditioned (in a suitable sense) to have a local time at every point and at every moment bounded by some fixed constant. Our main result shows that a phenomenon of entropic repulsion occurs: that…

We show that a Brownian motion on $\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}$ which is allowed to spend a total of $s > 0$ time units outside a bounded interval does not leave the interval at all. This can be seen as an extreme example of entropic repulsion.…

We consider a Brownian particle performing an overdamped motion in a power-law repulsive potential. If the potential grows with the distance faster than quadratically, the particle escapes to infinity in a finite time. We determine the…

Let $(Z,\kappa)$ be a Walsh Brownian motion with spinning measure $\kappa$. Suppose $\mu$ is a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We characterize all the $\kappa$ such that $\mu$ is a stopping distribution of $(Z,\kappa)$. If we further…

Consider p independent Brownian motions in R^d, each running up to its first exit time from an open domain B, and their intersection local time l as a measure on B. We give a sharp criterion for the finiteness of exponential moments,…

We consider a model of branching Brownian motion with self repulsion. Self-repulsion is introduced via change of measure that penalises particles spending time in an $\e$-neighbourhood of each other. We derive a simplified version of the…

A new universal constant of expansion has been discovered with amazing predictive power once its density-time relations have been deciphered. The new constant is kappa, the product of the gravitational constant, and the average total…

Brownian motion is a Gaussian process described by the central limit theorem. However, exponential decays of the positional probability density function $P(X,t)$ of packets of spreading random walkers, were observed in numerous situations…

In this work we propose a robust methodology to mitigate the undesirable effects caused by outliers to generate reliable physical models. In this way, we formulate the inverse problems theory in the context of Kaniadakis statistical…

We consider a one-dimensional diffusion process $X$ in a $(-\kappa/2)$-drifted Brownian potential for $\kappa\neq 0$. We are interested in the maximum of its local time, and study its almost sure asymptotic behaviour, which is proved to be…

We consider the one-sided exit problem for (fractionally) integrated random walks and L\'evy processes. We prove that the rate of decrease of the non-exit probability -- the so-called survival exponent -- is universal in this class of…

We construct the canonical Brownian motion on the gasket of conformal loop ensembles (CLE$_\kappa$) for $\kappa \in (4,8)$ (which is the range of parameter values in which loops of the CLE$_\kappa$ can intersect themselves, each other, and…

We generalise the entropic force description of gravity into $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time and derive the $\kappa$-deformed corrections to the Newton's gravitational force. Using this we show the appearance of logarithmic correction as the…

Generally the convergence rate in exponential ergodicity $\lambda$ is an upper bound for the convergence rate $\kappa$ in uniform ergodicity for a Markov process, that is $\lambda\geqslant\kappa$. In this paper, we prove that…

The phenomenon of macroscopic homogenization is illustrated with a simple example of diffusion. We examine the conditions under which a $d$--dimensional simple random walk in a symmetric random media converges to a Brownian motion. For…

The standard (non-relativistic) $\kappa$-distribution is widely used to fit data and to describe macroscopic thermodynamical behavior, e.g.\ the pressure (temperature) as the second moment of the distribution function. By contrast to a…
