Consider an arbitrary transient random walk on $\Z^d$ with $d\in\N$. Pick $\alpha\in[0,\infty)$ and let $L_n(\alpha)$ be the spatial sum of the $\alpha$-th power of the $n$-step local times of the walk. Hence, $L_n(0)$ is the range,…

The problem of random walk is considered in one dimension in the simultaneous presence of a quenched random force field and long-range connections the probability of which decays with the distance algebraically as p_l ~ \beta l^{-s}. The…

Distance covariance is a measure of dependence between two random variables that take values in two, in general different, metric spaces, see Sz\'ekely, Rizzo and Bakirov (2007) and Lyons (2013). It is known that the distance covariance,…

In this short article, we shall study one-dimensional local Dirichlet spaces. One result, which has its independent interest, is to prove that irreducibility implies the uniqueness of symmetrizing measure for right Markov processes. The…

We show exact dimensionality of harmonic measures associated with random walks on groups acting on a hyperbolic space under finite first moment condition, and establish the dimension formula by the entropy over the drift. We also treat the…

We construct random metric spaces by gluing together an infinite sequence of pointed metric spaces that we call blocks. At each step, we glue the next block to the structure constructed so far by randomly choosing a point on the structure…

We derive a functional central limit theorem for the excursion of a random walk conditioned on sweeping a prescribed geometric area. We assume that the increments of the random walk are integer-valued, centered, with a third moment equal to…

For any beta-shift $(X_\beta,\sigma)$ on two symbols, i.e., the symbolic coding of the beta-map for $1<\beta\leq2$, we give an exact formula for the Hausdorff dimension $\dim_{H} \Lambda_{\alpha(t)}$ as a function of $t\in\mathbb{R}$, where…

Statistical systems displaying a strongly anisotropic or dynamical scaling behaviour are characterized by an anisotropy exponent theta or a dynamical exponent z. For a given value of theta, we construct local scale transformations which can…

Temporal and spatial variation of fine-structure constant $\alpha\equiv e^2/\hbar c$ in cosmology has been reported in analysis of combination Keck and VLT data. This paper studies this variation based on consideration of basic spacetime…

We study the random walk representation of the two-point function in statistical mechanics models near the critical point. Using standard scaling arguments we show that the critical exponent $\nu$ describing the vanishing of the physical…

If $L^x$ is the total occupation local time of $d$-dimensional super-Brownian motion, $X$, for $d=2$ and $d=3$, we construct a random measure $\mathcal{L}$, called the boundary local time measure, as a rescaling of $L^x e^{-\lambda L^x} dx$…

It is well-known (see Dvoretzky, Erd{\H o}s and Kakutani [8] and Le Gall [12]) that a planar Brownian motion $(B_t)_{t\ge 0}$ has points of infinite multiplicity, and these points form a dense set on the range. Our main result is the…

We consider the distribution of the orbits of the number 1 under the $\beta$-transformations $T_\beta$ as $\beta$ varies. Mainly, the size of the set of $\beta>1$ for which a given point can be well approximated by the orbit of 1 is…

We study a model of continuous-time nearest-neighbor random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ penalized by its occupation time at the origin, also known as a homopolymer. For a fixed real parameter $\beta$ and time $t>0$, we consider the probability…

We develop a gradient-flow theory for time-dependent functionals defined in abstract metric spaces. Global well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of solutions are provided. Conditions on functionals and metric spaces allow to consider the…

Let $X$ be a complex projective manifold and let $D\subset X$ be a smooth divisor. In this article, we are interested in studying limits when $\beta\to 0$ of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics $\omega_\beta$ with a cone singularity of angle $2\pi…

This thesis is about local and non-local Dirichlet forms on the Sierpi\'nski gasket and the Sierpi\'nski carpet. We are concerned with the following three problems in analysis on the Sierpi\'nski gasket and the Sierpi\'nski carpet. First, a…

If $S$ is an infinite sequence over a finite alphabet $\Sigma$ and $\beta$ is a probability measure on $\Sigma$, then the {\it dimension} of $ S$ with respect to $\beta$, written $\dim^\beta(S)$, is a constructive version of Billingsley…
