We study a simple model for the trajectory of a particle in a turbulent fluid, where a Brownian motion travels through a random Gaussian velocity field. We study the quenched law of the process and prove that in a weak environment setting,…

The genealogical structure of self-similar growth-fragmentations can be described in terms of a branching random walk. The so-called intrinsic area $\mathrm{A}$ arises in this setting as the terminal value of a remarkable additive…

Fractional Brownian motion, a stochastic process with long-time correlations between its increments, is a prototypical model for anomalous diffusion. We analyze fractional Brownian motion in the presence of a reflecting wall by means of…

A continuous-time particle system on the real line satisfying the branching property and an exponential integrability condition is called a branching L\'evy process, and its law is characterized by a triplet $(\sigma^2,a,\Lambda)$. We…

This paper attempts to find a probability distribution for the white noise (rapidly fluctuating unbalanced force) in the Langevin Equation. Unbalanced force is the resultant impulse provided to the brownian particle by the colliding fluid…

We study the diffusion of Brownian particles on the surface of a sphere and compute the distribution of solid angles enclosed by the diffusing particles. This function describes the distribution of geometric phases in two state quantum…

We compute the entropy production engendered in the environment from a single Brownian particle which moves in a mean flow, and show that it corresponds in expectation to classical near-equilibrium entropy production in the surrounding…

A watermelon is a set of $p$ Bernoulli paths starting and ending at the same ordinate, that do not intersect. In this paper, we show the convergence in distribution of two sorts of watermelons (with or without wall condition) to processes…

Hard spheres in Newtonian fluids serve as paradigms for Non-Newtonian materials phenomena exhibited by colloidal suspensions. A recent experimental study (Cheng et al. 2011 Science, 333, 1276) showed that upon application of shear to such a…

The ``Brownian bees'' model describes an ensemble of $N=$~const independent branching Brownian particles. The conservation of $N$ is provided by a modified branching process. When a particle branches into two particles, the particle which…

We present some aspects of the so-called additive coalescence, with a focus on its connections with random trees, Brownian excursion, certain bridges with exchangeable increments, L\'evy processes, and sticky particle systems.

This work proposes a method for the two-dimensional simulation of Brownian particles in a fluid with restrictions. The method is based on simple numerical rules between two matrices. One of the matrix represent the identification of all…

We study interacting systems of linear Brownian motions whose drift vector at every time point is determined by the relative ranks of the coordinate processes at that time. Our main objective has been to study the long range behavior of the…
