Many recent papers deal with the enumeration of 2-dimensional walks with prescribed steps confined to the positive quadrant. The classification is now complete for walks with steps in $\{0, \pm 1\}^2$: the generating function is D-finite if…
We combine the method of exchangeable pairs with Stein's method for functional approximation. As a result, we give a general linearity condition under which an abstract Gaussian approximation theorem for stochastic processes holds. We apply…
We consider several variants of a class of random walks whose increment distributions depend on the average value of the process over its most recent $N$ steps. We investigate the speed of the process, and in particular, the limiting speed…
We show the invalidity of finitary counterparts for three classification theorems: The preservation of being a Bernoulli shift through factors, Sinai's factor theorem, and the weak Pinsker property. We construct a finitary factor of an…
A general class of non-Markov, supercritical Gaussian branching particle systems is introduced and its long-time asymptotics is studied. Both weak and strong laws of large numbers are developed with the limit object being characterized in…
We derive explicit lower and upper bounds for the probability generating functional of a stationary locally stable Gibbs point process, which can be applied to summary statistics like the F function. For pairwise interaction processes we…
A workload model using the infinite source Poisson model for bursts is combined with the on--off model for within burst activity. Burst durations and on--off durations are assumed to have heavy-tailed distributions with infinite variance…
We consider a Brownian motion with linear drift that splits at fixed time points into a fixed number of branches, which may depend on the branching point. For this process, which we shall refer to as the Brownian decision tree, we…
We prove functional, distributional limit theorems for the occupation times of pointwise dual ergodic transformations at "tied-down" times immediately after "excursions". The limiting processes are tied down Mittag-Leffler processes and the…
We use Stein's method to obtain a bound on the distance between scaled $p$-dimensional random walks and a $p$-dimensional (correlated) Brownian Motion. We consider dependence schemes including those in which the summands in scaled sums are…
We define the reflection of a random walk at a general barrier and derive, in case the increments are light tailed and have negative mean, a necessary and sufficient criterion for the global maximum of the reflected process to be finite…
We prove finiteness of hyperkaehler Lagrangian fibrations in any fixed dimension with fixed Fujiki constant and discriminant of the Beauville-Bogomolov-Fujiki lattice, up to deformation. We also prove finiteness of hyperk\"ahler Lagrangian…
We show that all the time-dependent statistical properties of the rightmost points of a branching Brownian motion can be extracted from the traveling wave solutions of the Fisher-KPP equation. We show that the distribution of all the…
We study a branching random walk with independent and identically distributed, heavy tailed displacements. The offspring law is supercritical and satisfies the Kesten-Stigum condition. We treat the case when the law of the displacements…
We prove that the speed of a biased random walk on a supercritical Galton-Watson tree conditioned to survive is analytic within the ballistic regime. This extends the previous work arXiv:1906.07913 in which it was shown that the speed is…
We give a simple proof of the moment-indeterminacy of the sequence $(n!)^t$ for $t > 2,$ using Lin's condition. Under a logarithmic self-decomposability assumption, the method conveys to power sequences defined as the rising factorials of a…
We introduce the finitistic extension degree of a ring and investigate rings for which it is finite. The Auslander-Reiten Conjecture is proved for rings of finite finitistic extension degree and these rings are also shown to have finite…
The so-called "supOU" processes, namely the superpositions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type processes are stationary processes for which one can specify separately the marginal distribution and the dependence structure. They can have finite or…
In this work, we explore a link between an unbounded spin system given by a system of stochastic differential equations and a random walk. This allows us to study the decay of the (co)variance of functions with respect to time. We extend…
We are interested in the maximum value achieved by the systole function over all complete finite area hyperbolic surfaces of a given signature $(g,n)$. This maximum is shown to be strictly increasing in terms of the number of cusps for…
