We consider Activated Random Walk (ARW), a model which generalizes the Stochastic Sandpile, one of the canonical examples of self organized criticality. Informally ARW is a particle system on $\mathbb{Z}$ with mass conservation. One starts…

We consider the activated random walk (ARW) model where particles follow the path of a general Markov process on a general graph. We prove ARW dominates a simpler process, multiple source internal aggregation (MSIA), and use this to…

It has been conjectured that the critical density of the Activated Random Walk model is strictly less than one for any value of the sleeping rate. We prove this conjecture on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ when $d \geq 3$ and, more generally, on graphs…

We consider the activated random walk (ARW) model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, which undergoes a transition from an absorbing regime to a regime of sustained activity. In any dimension we prove that the system is in the active regime when the…

We consider Activated Random Walk (ARW), a particle system with mass conservation, on the cycle $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$. One starts with a mass density $\mu>0$ of initially active particles, each of which performs a simple symmetric random…

We consider the Activated Random Walk model on $\mathbb{Z}$. In this model, each particle performs a continuous-time simple symmetric random walk, and falls asleep at rate $\lambda$. A sleeping particle does not move but it is reactivated…

We show that the critical density of the Activated Random Walk model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is strictly less than one when the sleep rate $\lambda$ is small enough, and tends to $0$ when $\lambda\to 0$, in any dimension $d\geqslant 1$. As far as…

We study biased random walks on dynamical percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We establish a law of large numbers and an invariance principle for the random walk using regeneration times. Moreover, we verify that the Einstein relation holds, and…

Activated Random Walks, on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for any $d\geqslant 1$, is an interacting particle system, where particles can be in either of two states: active or frozen. Each active particle performs a continuous-time simple random walk during…

We study a biased random walk on the interlacement set of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d\geq 3$. Although the walk is always transient, we can show, in the case $d=3$, that for any value of the bias the walk has a zero limiting speed and actually…

We consider one-dimensional activated random walk (ARW) on $\mathbb{Z}$ started from a `point source' initial condition, with many particles at the origin and no other particles. We prove that, uniformly throughout a macroscopic window…

We consider biased random walks on random networks constituted by a random comb comprising a backbone with quenched-disordered random-length branches. The backbone and the branches run in the direction of the bias. For the bare model as…

We prove that for the Activated Random Walks model on transitive unimodular graphs, if there is fixation, then every particle eventually fixates, almost surely. We deduce that the critical density is at most 1. Our methods apply for much…
