We consider Galton-Watson trees associated with a critical offspring distribution and conditioned to have exactly $n$ vertices. These trees are embedded in the real line by affecting spatial positions to the vertices, in such a way that the…

We consider the parabolic Anderson model $\frac{\partial}{\partial t} v_n=\kappa\Delta_n v_n + \xi_n v_n$ on the $n$-dimensional hypercube $\{-1,+1\}^n$ with random i.i.d. potential $\xi_n$. We parametrize time by volume and study $v_n$ at…

Random-cluster measures on infinite regular trees are studied in conjunction with a general type of `boundary condition', namely an equivalence relation on the set of infinite paths of the tree. The uniqueness and non-uniqueness of…

We study geometric and spectral properties of typical hyperbolic surfaces of high genus, excluding a set of small measure for the Weil-Petersson probability measure. We first prove Benjamini-Schramm convergence to the hyperbolic plane H as…

Gromov hyperbolicity of a metric space measures the distance of the space from a perfect tree-like structure. The measure has a "worst-case" aspect to it, in the sense that it detects a region in the space which sees the maximum deviation…

In a complete graph $K_n$ with edge weights drawn independently from a uniform distribution $U(0,1)$ (or alternatively an exponential distribution $\operatorname{Exp}(1)$), let $T_1$ be the MST (the spanning tree of minimum weight) and let…

The probability that two randomly selected phylogenetic trees of the same size are isomorphic is found to be asymptotic to a decreasing exponential modulated by a polynomial factor. The number of symmetrical nodes in a random phylogenetic…

The goal of these lectures is to review some mathematical aspects of random tree models used in evolutionary biology to model gene trees or species trees. We start with stochastic models of tree shapes (finite trees without edge lengths),…

This paper extends the study of fringe trees in random plane trees with a given degree statistic. While previous work established the asymptotic normality of the count of fringe trees isomorphic to a fixed tree, we investigate the case…

Statistical physics models with hard constraints, such as the discrete hard-core gas model (random independent sets in a graph), are inherently combinatorial and present the discrete mathematician with a relatively comfortable setting for…

A random forest prediction can be computed by the scalar product of the labels of the training examples and a set of weights that are determined by the leafs of the forest into which the test object falls; each prediction can hence be…

For a general class of percolation models with long-range correlations on $\mathbb Z^d$, $d\geq 2$, introduced in arXiv:1212.2885, we establish regularity conditions of Barlow arXiv:math/0302004 that mesoscopic subballs of all large enough…

We study the trajectory of a simple random walk on a d-regular graph with d>2 and locally tree-like structure as the number n of vertices grows. Examples of such graphs include random d-regular graphs and large girth expanders. For these…

Bounds for the expected return probability of the delayed random walk on finite clusters of an invariant percolation on transitive unimodular graphs are derived. They are particularly suited for the case of critical Bernoulli percolation…

The study of Gaussian free field level sets on supercritical Galton-Watson trees has been initiated by Ab\"acherli and Sznitman in Ann. Inst. Henri Poincar\'{e} Probab. Stat., 54(1):173--201, 2018. By means of entirely different tools, we…

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…

A degree sequence is a sequence ${\bf s}=(N_i,i\geq 0)$ of non-negative integers satisfying $1+\sum_i iN_i=\sum_i N_i<\infty$. We are interested in the uniform distribution $\mathbb{P}_{{\bf s}}$ on rooted plane trees whose degree sequence…

We extend previous work of max-linear models on finite directed acyclic graphs to infinite graphs as well as random graphs, and investigate their relations to classical percolation theory, more particularly the impact of Bernoulli bond…

We introduce a non-increasing tree growth process $((T_n,\sigma_n),\, n\ge 1)$, where $T_n$ is a rooted labeled tree on $n$ vertices and ${\sigma}_n$ is a permutation of the vertex labels. The construction of $(T_{n},{\sigma}_n)$ from…

A probabilistic generative network model with $n$ nodes and $m$ overlapping layers is obtained as a superposition of $m$ mutually independent Bernoulli random graphs of varying size and strength. When $n$ and $m$ are large and of the same…
