Let $\mathbb{T}^d_N$, $d\ge 2$, be the discrete $d$-dimensional torus with $N^d$ points. Place a particle at each site of $\mathbb{T}^d_N$ and let them evolve as independent, nearest-neighbor, symmetric, continuous-time random walks. Each…

We study the cover time of random walk on dynamical percolation on the torus $\mathbb{Z}_n^d$ in the subcritical regime. In this model, introduced by Peres, Stauffer and Steif, each edge updates at rate $\mu$ to open with probability $p$…

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 the asymptotic behavior for large N of the disconnection time T_N of simple random walk on a discrete cylinder with base a d-dimensional discrete torus of side-length N. When d is sufficiently large, we are able to substantially…

We consider random graphs on the set of $N^2$ vertices placed on the discrete $2$-dimensional torus. The edges between pairs of vertices are independent, and their probabilities decay with the distance $\rho$ between these vertices as…

For a generalized step reinforced random walk, starting from the origin, the first step is taken according to the first element of an innovation sequence. Then in subsequent epochs, it recalls a past epoch with probability proportional to a…

This paper explores the mixing time of the random transposition walk on the symmetric group. While it has long been known that this walk mixes in order n*log(n) time, this result has not previously been attained using coupling. A coupling…

In this paper we study random walks on the hypergroup of conics in finite fields. We investigate the behavior of random walks on this hypergroup, the equilibrium distribution and the mixing times. We use the coupling method to show that the…

We investigate the asymptotic disconnection time of a large discrete cylinder $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^{d}\times \mathbb{Z}$, $d\geq 2$, by simple and biased random walks. For simple random walk, we derive a sharp asymptotic lower bound…

We consider a model for random walks on random environments (RWRE) with random subset of the d-dimensional Euclidean lattice as the vertices, and uniform transition probabilities on 2d points (two "coordinate nearest points" in each of the…

This paper studies long range random walks on ${\mathbb{Z}_q}^d$. $X_{t+1} = X_t + Z_t \mod q$, with $(Z_t)$ independent and identically distributed. Multiple entries of $Z_t$ can be non-zero in a transition. An emphasis is on finding the…

The territory explored by a random walk is a key property that may be quantified by the number of distinct sites that the random walk visits up to a given time. The extent of this spatial exploration characterizes many important physical,…

The random interlacements $\mathscr{I}(u)$ at level $u$ has been introduced by Sznitman, as a Poissonian collection of independent simple random walk trajectories on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 3$, with intensity $u>0$. Since then, several works…

Continuous time random walks have random waiting times between particle jumps. We define the correlated continuous time random walks (CTRWs) that converge to fractional Pearson diffusions (fPDs). The jumps in these CTRWs are obtained from…

We consider continuous time random interlacements on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \ge 3$, and characterize the distribution of the corresponding stationary random field of occupation times. When d = 3, we relate this random field to the…

We consider connectivity properties of certain i.i.d. random environments on $\Z^d$, where at each location some steps may not be available. Site percolation and oriented percolation can be viewed as special cases of the models we consider.…

We consider a discrete time simple symmetric random walk on Z^d, d>=1, where the path of the walk is perturbed by inserting deterministic jumps. We show that for any time n and any deterministic jumps that we insert, the expected number of…

We study a natural random walk on the $n \times n$ upper triangular matrices, with entries in $\mathbb{Z}/m \mathbb{Z}$, generated by steps which add or subtract a uniformly random row to the row above. We show that the mixing time of this…

We obtain the leading orders of the maximum and the minimum of local times for the simple random walk on the two-dimensional torus at time proportional to the cover time. We also estimate the number of points with large (or small) values of…

We present an approach to interface branching random walks with Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling, and to switch seamlessly between the two. The approach is discussed in the context of auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) but is…
