We prove a scaling limit theorem for the simple random walk on critical lattice trees in $\mathbb{Z}^d$, for $d\geq 8$. The scaling limit is the Brownian motion on the Integrated Super-Brownian Excursion (BISE) which is the same one that we…

In this note, we define the numbers of level crossings by a c{\`a}dl{\`a}g (RCLL) real function $x: [0,+\infty) \rightarrow R$ and, in analogy to the work of Bertoin and Yor [BY14] we prove that for $x$ with locally finite total variation…

In this article, we undertake a detailed study of the limiting behavior of a three-state discrete-time quantum walk on one dimensional lattice with generalized Grover coins. Two limit theorems are proved and consequently we show that the…

Random walks and Lorentz processes serve as fundamental models for Brownian motion. The study of random walks is a favorite object of probability theory, whereas that of Lorentz processes belongs to the theory of hyperbolic dynamical…

We establish the (non-lattice) local limit theorem for products of i.i.d. random variables on an arbitrary simply connected nilpotent Lie group $G$, where the variables are allowed to be non-centered. Our result also improves on the known…

We apply results from Baryshnikov, Brady, Bressler and Pemantle (2008) to compute limiting probability profiles for various quantum random walks in one and two dimensions. Using analytic machinery we show some features of the limit…

Local time is the measure of how much time a random walk has visited a given position. In multiple scattering media, where waves are diffuse, local time measures the sensitivity of the waves to the local medium's properties. Local…

For $x\in R^d- \{0\}$, in dimension $d=3$, we study the asymptotic behavior of the local time $L_t^x$ of super-Brownian motion $X$ starting from $\delta_0$ as $x \to 0$. Let $\psi(x)=((1/2\pi^2) \log (1/|x|))^{1/2}$ be a normalization,…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be two independent random walks on $\Z^2$ with zero mean and finite variances, and let $L_t(X,Y)$ be the local time of $X-Y$ at the origin at time $t$. We show that almost surely with respect to $Y$, $L_t(X,Y)/\log t$…

We investigate the computational complexity of finding temporally disjoint paths or walks in temporal graphs. There, the edge set changes over discrete time steps and a temporal path (resp. walk) uses edges that appear at monotonically…
