We consider a smooth, rotationally invariant, centered gaussian process in the plane, with arbitrary correlation matrix $C_{t t'}$. We study the winding angle $\phi_t$ around its center. We obtain a closed formula for the variance of the…
We pursue the analysis made in [1] on the arithmetic area enclosed by m closed Brownian paths. We pay a particular attention to the random variable S{n1,n2, ...,n} (m) which is the arithmetic area of the set of points, also called winding…
The Brownian web is a collection of one-dimensional coalescing Brownian motions starting from every point in space and time, while the Brownian net is an extension that also allows branching. We show here that the Brownian net is the…
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…
We give a new formula for the rotation number (or Whitney index) of a smooth closed plane curve. This formula is obtained from the winding numbers associated with the regions and the crossing points of the curve. One difference with the…
Coalescing simple random walks in the plane form an infinite tree. A natural directed distance on this tree is given by the number of jumps between branches when one is only allowed to move in one direction. The Brownian web distance is the…
We define a generalization of the winding number of a piecewise $C^1$ cycle in the complex plane which has a geometric meaning also for points which lie on the cycle. The computation of this winding number relies on the Cauchy principal…
For the supercritical Bernoulli bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ ($d \geq 2$), we give a coupling between the random walk on the infinite cluster and its limit Brownian motion, such that the maximum distance between the paths during…
Nonintersecting motion of Brownian particles in one dimension is studied. The system is constructed as the diffusion scaling limit of Fisher's vicious random walk. N particles start from the origin at time t=0 and then undergo mutually…
Some probabilistic aspects of the number variance statistic are investigated. Infinite systems of independent Brownian motions and symmetric alpha-stable processes are used to construct new examples of processes which exhibit both divergent…
We study analytically the asymptotic behaviour of the average probability P(n,t) for the trajectory of a 2D Brownian particle wandering in the presence of randomly distributed traps to wind n times around a given point after a time t. It is…
We show that for two classical brownian particles there exists an analog of continuous-variable quantum entanglement: The common probability distribution of the two coordinates and the corresponding coarse-grained velocities cannot be…
We consider Brownian motions with one-sided collisions, meaning that each particle is reflected at its right neighbour. For a finite number of particles a Sch\"{u}tz-type formula is derived for the transition probability. We investigate an…
We study the set of points $\mathcal{D}_{n,m}$ around which two independent Brownian motions wind at least $n$ (resp. $m$) times. We prove that its area is asymptotically equivalent, in $L^p$ and almost surely, to…
In this work we introduce correlated random walks on $\Z$. When picking suitably at random the coefficient of correlation, and taking the average over a large number of walks, we obtain a discrete Gaussian process, whose scaling limit is…
Mortality introduces an intrinsic time scale into the scale-invariant Brownian motion. This fact has important consequences for different statistics of Brownian motion. Here we are telling three short stories, where spontaneous death, such…
We derive explicit formulas for probabilities of Brownian motion with jumps crossing linear or piecewise linear boundaries in any finite interval. We then use these formulas to approximate the boundary crossing probabilities for general…
The Brownian web is a collection of one-dimensional coalescing Brownian motions starting from everywhere in space and time, and the Brownian net is a generalization that also allows branching. They appear in the diffusive scaling limits of…
Distance correlation is a new class of multivariate dependence coefficients applicable to random vectors of arbitrary and not necessarily equal dimension. Distance covariance and distance correlation are analogous to product-moment…
It is well known that the weak limit of a suitably scaled continuous-time random walk (CTRW) is the Brownian motion. We investigate the convergence of certain patterned random matrices whose entries are independent CTRWs and their…
