We consider a discrete time biased random walk conditioned to avoid Bernoulli obstacles on ${\mathbb Z}^d$ ($d\geq 2$) up to time $N$. This model is known to undergo a phase transition: for a large bias, the walk is ballistic whereas for a…

Let $\{S_n=(X_n,W_n)\}_{n\ge0}$ be a random walk with $X_n\in \mathbb{R}$ and $W_n\in \mathbb{R}^m$. Let $\tau=\tau_a=\inf\{n:X_n>a\}$. The main results presented are two term asymptotic expansions for the joint distribution of $S_{\tau}$…

We consider general transformations of random walks on groups determined by Markov stopping times and prove that the asymptotic entropy (resp., rate of escape) of the transformed random walks is equal to the asymptotic entropy (resp., rate…

We prove existence of asymptotic entropy of random walks on regular languages over a finite alphabet and we give formulas for it. Furthermore, we show that the entropy varies real-analytically in terms of probability measures of constant…

In this paper, we obtain a local limit theorem for the Kemperman's model of oscillating random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$; it extends the existing results for classical random walks on $\mathbb Z$ or reflected random walks on $\mathbb N_0$. The…

In this paper we consider a particular version of the random walk with restarts: random reset events which bring suddenly the system to the starting value. We analyze its relevant statistical properties like the transition probability and…

In \cite{SzT}, D. Sz\'asz and A. Telcs have shown that for the diffusively scaled, simple symmetric random walk, weak convergence to the Brownian motion holds even in the case of local impurities if $d \ge 2$. The extension of their result…

The classical random walk isomorphism theorems relate the local times of a continuous-time random walk to the square of a Gaussian free field. A Gaussian free field is a spin system that takes values in Euclidean space, and this article…

We prove a quenched central limit theorem for random walks with bounded increments in a randomly evolving environment on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We assume that the transition probabilities of the walk depend not too strongly on the environment and…

Let $\tau = (\tau_i : i \in {\Bbb Z})$ denote i.i.d.~positive random variables with common distribution $F$ and (conditional on $\tau$) let $X = (X_t : t\geq0, X_0=0)$, be a continuous-time simple symmetric random walk on ${\Bbb Z}$ with…

In this article, we merge celebrated results of Kesten and Spitzer [Z. Wahrsch. Verw. Gebiete 50 (1979) 5-25] and Kawazu and Kesten [J. Stat. Phys. 37 (1984) 561-575]. A random walk performs a motion in an i.i.d. environment and observes an…

We extend existing connections between random walks, branching processes, and spatial branching processes, and their respective scaling limits, to include processes in dependent random environments. More specifically, we prove new scaling…

We consider a natural class of long range random walks on torsion free nilpotent groups and develop limit theorems for these walks. Given the original discrete group $\Gamma$ and a random walk $(S_n)_ {n\ge1}$ driven by a certain type of…

We prove the annealed Central Limit Theorem for random walks in bistochastic random environments on $Z^d$ with zero local drift. The proof is based on a "dynamicist's interpretation" of the system, and requires a much weaker condition than…

Random walks in random scenery are processes defined by $Z_n:=\sum_{k=1}^n\xi_{X_1+...+X_k}$, where $(X_k,k\ge 1)$ and $(\xi_y,y\in\mathbb Z)$ are two independent sequences of i.i.d. random variables. We assume here that their distributions…

We consider a walker that at each step keeps the same direction with a probabilitythat depends on the time already spent in the direction the walker is currently moving. In this paper, we study some asymptotic properties of this persistent…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple real Lie group with finite center, and $\mu$ a probability measure on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense subgroup of $G$. We consider the right $\mu$-random walk on $G$ and show that each random…

We study continuous-time (variable speed) random walks in random environments on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\ge2$, where, at time $t$, the walk at $x$ jumps across edge $(x,y)$ at time-dependent rate $a_t(x,y)$. The rates, which we assume stationary…

The usual random walk on a group (homogeneous both in time and in space) is determined by a probability measure on the group. In a random walk with random transition probabilities this single measure is replaced with a stationary sequence…

We consider a one-dimensional random walk $S_n$ with i.i.d. increments with zero mean and finite variance. We study the asymptotic expansion for the tail distribution $\mathbf P(\tau_x>n)$ of the first passage times…
