We study the asymptotic behavior for large $N$ of the disconnection time $T_N$ of a simple random walk on the discrete cylinder $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^d\times\mathbb{Z}$, when $d\ge2$. We explore its connection with the model of random…

Random paths are time continuous interpolations of random walks. By using Littelmann path model, we associate to each irreducible highest weight module of a Kac Moody algebra g a random path W. Under suitable hypotheses, we make explicit…

Suppose that $X$ is a simple random walk on $\Z_n^d$ for $d \geq 3$ and, for each $t$, we let $\U(t)$ consist of those $x \in \Z_n^d$ which have not been visited by $X$ by time $t$. Let $\tcov$ be the expected amount of time that it takes…

We consider the simple random walk conditioned to stay forever in a finite domain $D_N \subset \mathbb{Z}^d, d \geq 3$ of typical size $N$. This confined walk is a random walk on the conductances given by the first eigenvector of the…

We study random walks on dynamically evolving graphs, where the environment is given by a time-dependent subset of the edges of an underlying graph. Concretely, following the recently introduced framework of Lelli and Stauffer, we consider…

Node connectivity plays a central role in temporal network analysis. We provide a comprehensive study of various concepts of walks in temporal graphs, that is, graphs with fixed vertex sets but edge sets changing over time. Taking into…

This paper shows the convergence of adele-valued random walks to an adelic L\'evy process under scaling limits. We use random walks on the $p$-adic numbers to construct random walks initially on the infinite product space, and use survival…

We study cumulants of numbers of $q$-step walks on Erd\"os-R\'enyi-type random graphs of long-range percolation radius model in the limit when the number of vertices $N$, concentration $c$, and the interaction radius $R$ tend to infinity.…

Determining the total variation mixing time of Kac's random walk on the special orthogonal group $\mathrm{SO}(n)$ has been a long-standing open problem. In this paper, we construct a novel non-Markovian coupling for bounding this mixing…

In this paper, we study a transient spatially inhomogeneous random walk with asymptotically zero drifts on the lattice of the positive half line. We give criteria for the finiteness of the number of points having exactly the same local time…

Given a sequence of lattice approximations $D_N\subset\mathbb Z^2$ of a bounded continuum domain $D\subset\mathbb R^2$ with the vertices outside $D_N$ fused together into one boundary vertex $\varrho$, we consider discrete-time simple…

As known, the commonly-utilized ways to determine mean first-passage time $\overline{\mathcal{F}}$ for random walk on networks are mainly based on Laplacian spectra. However, methods of this type can become prohibitively complicated and…

We find Gaussian cutoff profiles for the total variation distance to stationarity of a random walk on a multiplex network: a finite number of directed configuration models sharing a vertex set, each with its own bounded degree distribution…

We consider the problem of detecting a random walk on a graph, based on observations of the graph nodes. When visited by the walk, each node of the graph observes a signal of elevated mean, which we assume can be different across different…

We derive an upper bound for the annealed return probability for the simple random walk on supercritical Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson trees. The bound decays subexponentially in time $t$ with $t^{1/3}$ in the exponent. It is valid for all…

We consider simple random walk on a discrete cylinder with base a large d-dimensional torus of side-length N, when d is two or more. We develop a stochastic domination control on the local picture left by the random walk in boxes of…

We derive a lower bound for the probability that a random walk with i.i.d.\ increments and small negative drift $\mu$ exceeds the value $x>0$ by time $N$. When the moment generating functions are bounded in an interval around the origin,…

Consider a random walk whose (light-tailed) increments have positive mean. Lower and upper bounds are provided for the expected maximal value of the random walk until it experiences a given drawdown d. These bounds, related to the Calmar…

Let $(G_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of finite graphs, and let Y_t be the length of a loop-erased random walk on G_n after t steps. We show that for a large family of sequences of finite graphs, which includes the case in which G_n is…

Random walks in a finite Abelian group $G$ are studied. They use Markov chains with doubly stochastic transition matrices, in a Birkhoff subpolytope ${\cal B}(G)$ associated with the group $G$. It is shown that all future probability…
