We study the range $R_n$ of a random walk on the $d$-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ indexed by a random tree with $n$ vertices. Under the assumption that the random walk is centered and has finite fourth moments, we prove in dimension…

Given a supercritical branching random walk $\{Z_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ on $\mathbb{R}$, let $Z_n([y,\infty))$ be the number of particles located in $[y,\infty)\subset\mathbb{R}$ at generation $n$. Let $m$ be the mean of the offspring law of…

We present a new proof of the extended arc-sine law related to Walsh's Brownian motion, known also as Brownian spider. The main argument mimics the scaling property used previously, in particular by D. Williams in the 1-dimensional Brownian…

Given a branching random walk on a graph, we consider two kinds of truncations: by inhibiting the reproduction outside a subset of vertices and by allowing at most $m$ particles per site. We investigate the convergence of weak and strong…

We study the asymptotic behavior of a multidimensional random walk in a general cone. We find the tail asymptotics for the exit time and prove integral and local limit theorems for a random walk conditioned to stay in a cone. The main step…

We present a real space renormalization group scheme for the problem of random walks in a random environment on a strip, which includes one-dimensional random walk in random environment with bounded non-nearest-neighbor jumps. We show that…

In this paper we study Markov chains with the state space given by the coordinate axes of $\mathbb R^m$, $m \geq 2$, whose step sizes on each positive half-axis are distributed according to a centered probability distribution with variance…

Let $\xi$ n , n $\in$ N be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with values in Z. The associated random walk on Z is S(n) = $\xi$ 1 + $\times$ $\times$ $\times$ + $\xi$ n+1 and the corresponding "reflected walk" on N 0 is the Markov chain…

We prove a scaling limit for globally centered discrete snakes on size-conditioned critical Bienaym\'e trees. More specifically, under a global finite variance condition, we prove convergence in the sense of random finite-dimensional…

Consider a generic triangle in the upper half of the complex plane with one side on the real line. This paper presents a tailored construction of a discrete random walk whose continuum limit is a Brownian motion in the triangle, reflected…

We derive P(M,t_m), the joint probability density of the maximum M and the time t_m at which this maximum is achieved for a class of constrained Brownian motions. In particular, we provide explicit results for excursions, meanders and…

This paper studies Brownian motion subject to the occurrence of a minimal length excursion below a given excursion level. The law of this process is determined. The characterization is explicit and shows by a layer construction how the law…

We develop an excursion theory for Brownian motion indexed by the Brownian tree, which in many respects is analogous to the classical It\^o theory for linear Brownian motion. Each excursion is associated with a connected component of the…

We use Stein's method to obtain a bound on the distance between scaled $p$-dimensional random walks and a $p$-dimensional (correlated) Brownian Motion. We consider dependence schemes including those in which the summands in scaled sums are…

We prove that the extremal process of branching Brownian motion, in the limit of large times, converges weakly to a cluster point process. The limiting process is a (randomly shifted) Poisson cluster process, where the positions of the…

We derive asymptotics for the quenched probability that a critical branching Brownian motion killed at a small rate in Poissonian obstacles exits a large domain. Results are formulated in terms of the solution to a semilinear partial…

The purpose of this note is to collect in one place a few results about simple random walk and Brownian motion which are often useful. These include standard results such as Beurling estimates, large deviation estimates, and a method for…

Attributing a positive value \tau_x to each x in Z^d, we investigate a nearest-neighbour random walk which is reversible for the measure with weights (\tau_x), often known as "Bouchaud's trap model". We assume that these weights are…

Recently, Hammond and Sheffield introduced a model of correlated random walks that scale to fractional Brownian motions with long-range dependence. In this paper, we consider a natural generalization of this model to dimension $d\geq 2$. We…

We introduce a natural "massive" version of the Brownian loop soup of Lawler and Werner which displays conformal covariance and exponential decay. We show that this massive Brownian loop soup arises as the near-critical scaling limit of a…
