Percolation models with multiple percolating clusters have attracted much attention in recent years. Here we use Monte Carlo simulations to study bond percolation on $L_{1}\times L_{2}$ planar random lattices, duals of random lattices, and…

Sinai's model of diffusion in one-dimension with random local bias is studied by a real space renormalization group which yields exact results at long times. The effects of an additional small uniform bias force are also studied. We obtain…

In recent work, Fyodorov and Keating conjectured the maximum size of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ in a typical interval of length O(1) on the critical line. They did this by modelling the zeta function by the characteristic polynomial of a random…

Let $\mathcal{P}_{\lambda}:=\mathcal{P}_{\lambda\kappa}$ denote a Poisson point process of intensity $\lambda\kappa$ on $[0,1]^d,d\geq2$, with $\kappa$ a bounded density on $[0,1]^d$ and $\lambda\in(0,\infty)$. Given a closed subset…

This is a technical note which extends the results of Kosygina, Mountford and Peterson (Ann. Probab., 51(5):1684-1728, 2023, Section 4) about generalized P\'olya's urns from a specific weight function $w(n) = (n+1)^{-\alpha}$ to a general…

The one-dimensional long-range voter model, where an agent takes the opinion of another at distance $r$ with probability $\propto r^{-\alpha}$, is studied analytically. The model displays rich and diverse features as $\alpha$ is changed.…

We study systems with a crossover parameter lambda, such as the temperature T, which has a threshold value lambda* across which the correlation function changes from exhibiting fixed wavelength (or time period) modulations to continuously…

The jamming transition of particles with finite-range interactions is characterized by a variety of critical phenomena, including power law distributions of marginal contacts. We numerically study a recently proposed simple model of…

This is the second part of a two-part investigation. We continue the study of a class of balanced urn schemes on balls of two colors (white and black). At each drawing, a sample of size $m\ge 1$ is drawn from the urn and ball addition rules…

We consider the general version of P\'olya urns recently studied by Bandyopadhyay and Thacker (2016+) and Mailler and Marckert (2017), with the space of colours being any Borel space $S$ and the state of the urn being a finite measure on…

We propose the area swept $A(t)$ and the winding angle $\Omega(t)$ as the key observables to characterize chiral active motion. We find that the distributions of the scaled area and the scaled winding angle are described by universal…
