We consider a Gaussian field $X = \{X_t, t \in T\}$ with values in a Banach space $B$ defined on a parametric set $T$ equal to $R^m$ or $Z^m.$ It is supposed that the distribution $\cal P$ of $X_t$ is independent of $t.$ We consider the…

We prove limit theorems for random walks with $n$ steps in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space as both $n$ and $d$ tend to infinity. One of our results states that the path of such a random walk, viewed as a compact subset of the…

Let $S_n$ be a centered random walk with a finite variance, and define the new sequence $A_n:=\sum_{i=1}^n S_i$, which we call an integrated random walk. We are interested in the asymptotics of $$p_N:=P(\min_{1 \le k \le N} A_k \ge 0)$$ as…

In arbitrary spatial dimension $d\ge 1$, we study a generalized model of random walks in a time-varying random environment (RWRE) defined by a stochastic flow of kernels. We consider the quenched probability distribution of the random…

Spaces of convex and concave functions appear naturally in theory and applications. For example, convex regression and log-concave density estimation are important topics in nonparametric statistics. In stochastic portfolio theory, concave…

We study how the order of N independent random walks in one dimension evolves with time. Our focus is statistical properties of the inversion number m, defined as the number of pairs that are out of sort with respect to the initial…

In this article, we first give a comprehensive description of random walk (RW) problem focusing on self-similarity, dynamic scaling and its connection to diffusion phenomena. One of the main goals of our work is to check how robust the RW…

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…

Facets of the convex hull of $n$ independent random vectors chosen uniformly at random from the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are studied. A particular focus is given on the height of the facets as well as the expected number of facets as…

We examine how the measure and the number of vertices of the convex hull of a random sample of $n$ points from an arbitrary probability measure in $\mathbf{R}^d$ relates to the wet part of that measure. This extends classical results for…

These notes are devoted to fluctuations of one-dimensional random walks. We discuss various approaches to first-passage times and to the corresponding conditional distributions. After discussion of some classical methods, such as reflection…

We investigate the long-term behavior of a random walker evolving on top of the simple symmetric exclusion process (SSEP) at equilibrium, in dimension one. At each jump, the random walker is subject to a drift that depends on whether it is…

We relate some basic constructions of stochastic analysis to differential geometry, via random walk approximations. We consider walks on both Riemannian and sub-Riemannian manifolds in which the steps consist of travel along either…

A measure on a locally compact group is called spread out if one of its convolution powers is not singular with respect to Haar measure. Using Markov chain theory, we conduct a detailed analysis of random walks on homogeneous spaces with…

In a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$, for $n \leq d+1$, random points $X_0, \dots, X_{n-1}$ are chosen according to the uniform distribution in $K$. Their convex hull is a random $(n-1)$-simplex with probability $1$. We denote its…

We investigate the statistics of the convex hull for a single run-and-tumble particle in two dimensions. Run-and-tumble particle, also known as persistent random walker, has gained significant interest in the recent years due to its…
