Recently, the notion of a quantum acceleration limit has been proposed for any unitary time evolution of quantum systems governed by arbitrary nonstationary Hamiltonians. This limit articulates that the rate of change over time of the…
The kinetic Brownian motion on the sphere bundle of a Riemannian manifold $M$ is a stochastic process that models a random perturbation of the geodesic flow. If $M$ is a orientable compact constant negatively curved surface, we show that in…
We develop a theory of Brownian motion of a massive particle, including the effects of inertia (Kramers' problem), in spaces with curvature and torsion. This is done by invoking the recently discovered generalized equivalence principle,…
We consider a system of classical Brownian particles interacting via a smooth long-range potential in the mean-field regime, and we analyze the propagation of chaos in form of sharp, uniform-in-time estimates on many-particle correlation…
We study the one-dimensional ballistic aggregation process in the continuum limit for one-sided Brownian initial velocity (i.e. particles merge when they collide and move freely between collisions, and in the continuum limit the initial…
We study a classical Bayesian statistics problem of sequentially testing the sign of the drift of an arithmetic Brownian motion with the $0$-$1$ loss function and a constant cost of observation per unit of time for general prior…
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…
The interrelationships of the fundamental biological processes natural selection, mutation, and stochastic drift are quantified by the entropy rate of Moran processes with mutation, measuring the long-run variation of a Markov process. The…
The expected signature is an analogue of the Laplace transform for rough paths. Chevyrev and Lyons showed that, under certain moment conditions, the expected signature determines the laws of signatures. Lyons and Ni posed the question of…
We give a probabilistic representation of a one-dimensional diffusion equation where the solution is discontinuous at $0$ with a jump proportional to its flux. This kind of interface condition is usually seen as a semi-permeable barrier.…
We prove a large deviations principle for orthogonal projections of the unit ball $\mathbb{B}_p^n$ of $\ell_p^n$ onto a random $k$-dimensional linear subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ as $n\to\infty$ in the case $2<p\le \infty$ and for the…
We generalize the notion of the submartingale property and Doob's inequality. Furthermore, we show how the latter leads to new inequalities for several stochastic processes: certain time series, Levy processes, random walks, processes with…
In some non-regular statistical estimation problems, the limiting likelihood processes are functionals of fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with Hurst's parameter H; 0 < H <=? 1. In this paper we present several analytical and numerical…
We construct Brownian motion on a wide class of metric spaces similar to graphs, and show that its cover time admits an upper bound depending only on the length of the space.
We consider the evolution of a quantity advected by a compressible flow and subject to diffusion. When this quantity is scalar it can be, for instance, the temperature of the flow or the concentration of some pollutants. Because of the…
We consider a new functional inequality controlling the rate of relative entropy decay for random walks, the interchange process and more general block-type dynamics for permutations. The inequality lies between the classical logarithmic…
A quenched large deviation principle for Brownian motion in a non-negative, stationary potential is proved. A sufficient moment condition on the potential is given but unlike the results of Armstrong and Tran (2014) no regularity is…
We study a space-time Brownian motion with drift B(t)=(t_0+t,y_0+W(t)+t) killed at the moving boundary of the cone {(t,x):0<x<t}. This article determines the parabolic Martin boundary and all harmonic functions associated with this process.…
Fractional Brownian motion is a Gaussian stochastic process with stationary, long-time correlated increments and is frequently used to model anomalous diffusion processes. We study numerically fractional Brownian motion confined to a finite…
This case study proposes robustness quantifications of many classical sample path properties of Brownian motion in terms of the (mean) deviation frequencies along typical a.s.~approximations. This includes L\'evy's construction of Brownian…
