Semi-Markov processes generalize Markov processes by adding temporal memory effects as expressed by a semi-Markov kernel. We recall the path weight for a semi-Markov trajectory and the fact that thermodynamic consistency in equilibrium…

Any (measurable) function $K$ from $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}$ defines an operator $\mathbf{K}$ acting on random variables $X$ by $\mathbf{K}(X)=K(X_1, \ldots, X_n)$, where the $X_j$ are independent copies of $X$. The main result of this…

Let $X$ be an underlying space with a reference measure $\sigma$. Let $K$ be an integral operator in $L^2(X,\sigma)$ with integral kernel $K(x,y)$. A point process $\mu$ on $X$ is called determinantal with the correlation operator $K$ if…

In many contexts such as queuing theory, spatial statistics, geostatistics and meteorology, data are observed at irregular spatial positions. One model of this situation involves considering the observation points as generated by a Poisson…

We study a real-valued L\'evy-type process $X$, which is locally $\alpha$-stable in the sense that its jump kernel is a combination of a `principal' (state dependent) $\alpha$-stable part with a `residual' lower order part. We show that…

Let "mu" be a point process on a countable discrete space "X". Under assumption that "mu" is quasi-invariant with respect to any finitary permutation of "X", we describe a general scheme for constructing an equilibrium Kawasaki dynamics for…

This paper analyzes the dynamics of a level-dependent quasi-birth-death process ${\cal X}=\{(I(t),J(t)): t\geq 0\}$, i.e., a bi-variate Markov chain defined on the countable state space $\cup_{i=0}^{\infty} l(i)$ with $l(i)=\{(i,j) :…
