We provide mathematical foundations for the Schwarzian Field Theory as a finite Borel measure on $\mathrm{Diff}^1(\mathbb{T})/\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, a quotient of the space of circle reparametrisations. The measure is defined by a…
We consider line ensembles of non-intersecting random walks constrained by a hard wall, each tilted by the area underneath it with geometrically growing pre-factors $\mathfrak{b}^i$ where $\mathfrak{b}>1$. This is a model for the level…
Additive tree functionals allow to represent the cost of many divide-and-conquer algorithms. We give an invariance principle for such tree functionals for the Catalan model (random tree uniformly distributed among the full binary ordered…
We consider the number of crossings in a graph which is embedded randomly on a convex set of points. We give an estimate to the normal distribution in Kolmogorov distance which implies a convergence rate of order $n^{-1/2}$ for various…
In this paper, a surprising connection is described between a specific brand of random lattices, namely planar quadrangulations, and Aldous' Integrated SuperBrownian Excursion (ISE). As a consequence, the radius r_n of a random…
Let G be a vertex transitive graph. A study of the range of simple random walk on G and of its bridge is proposed. While it is expected that on a graph of polynomial growth the sizes of the range of the unrestricted random walk and of its…
We study $I(T)$, the number of inversions in a tree $T$ with its vertices labeled uniformly at random, which is a generalization of inversions in permutations. We first show that the cumulants of $I(T)$ have explicit formulas involving the…
For a Brownian bridge from $0$ to $y$ we prove that the mean of the first exit time from interval $(-h,h), \,\, h>0,$ behaves as $O(h^2)$ when $h \downarrow 0.$ Similar behavior is seen to hold also for the 3-dimensional Bessel bridge. For…
We present an exact solution for the probability density function $P(\tau=t_{\min}-t_{\max}|T)$ of the time-difference between the minimum and the maximum of a one-dimensional Brownian motion of duration $T$. We then generalise our results…
We prove that the wired uniform spanning forest exhibits mean-field behaviour on a very large class of graphs, including every transitive graph of at least quintic volume growth and every bounded degree nonamenable graph. Several of our…
The Brownian tree, also known as the continuum random tree, is a canonical random compact, geodesic $\mathbf R$-tree that arises as the universal scaling limit for numerous models of discrete random trees. A key quasisymmetric invariant of…
In this note - starting from $d$-dimensional (with $d>1$) fuzzy vectors - we prove Donsker's classical invariance principle. We consider a fuzzy random walk ${S^*_n}=X^*_1+\cdots+X^*_n,$ where $\{X^*_i\}_1^{\infty}$ is a sequence of…
Several classical results on boundary crossing probabilities of Brownian motion and random walks are extended to asymptotically Gaussian random fields, which include sums of i.i.d. random variables with multidimensional indices,…
Consider the minimum spanning tree (MST) of the complete graph with n vertices, when edges are assigned independent random weights. Endow this tree with the graph distance renormalized by n^{1/3} and with the uniform measure on its…
Donsker's theorem shows that random walks behave like Brownian motion in an asymptotic sense. This result can be used to approximate expectations associated with the time and location of a random walk when it first crosses a nonlinear…
We describe random walk boundaries (in particular, the Poisson--Furstenberg, or PF-boundary) for a vast family of groups in terms of the hyperbolic boundary of a special free subgroup. We prove that almost all trajectories of the random…
The current understanding of pinned Brownian bridges is based on the Onsager-Machlup (OM) functional. The continuous-time limit of the OM functional can be expressed either by using the Fokker-Planck equation or by using the Radon-Nikodym…
We consider a standard one-dimensional Brownian motion on the time interval $[0,1]$ conditioned to have vanishing iterated time integrals up to order $N$. We show that the resulting processes can be expressed explicitly in terms of shifted…
This paper motivates the use of random-bridges -- stochastic processes conditioned to take target distributions at fixed timepoints -- in the realm of generative modelling. Herein, random-bridges can act as stochastic transports between two…
In this paper we study the effect of stochastic perturbations on a common type of moving boundary value PDE's which endorse Stefan boundary conditions, or Stefan problems, and show the existence and uniqueness of the solutions to a number…
