Let \zeta be the intersection exponent of random walks in Z^3 and \alpha be a positive real number. We construct a stochastic process from a simple random walk by erasing loops of length at most N^\alpha. We will prove that for \alpha <…

We analyze the geometry of scaling limits of near-critical 2D percolation, i.e., for $p=p_c+\lambda\delta^{1/\nu}$, with $\nu=4/3$, as the lattice spacing $\delta \to 0$. Our proposed framework extends previous analyses for $p=p_c$, based…

We prove a sample path large deviation principle (LDP) with sub-linear speed for unbounded functionals of certain Markov chains induced by the Lindley recursion. The LDP holds in the Skorokhod space $\mathbb{D}[0,T]$ equipped with the…

We study a limit behavior of a sequence of Markov processes (or Markov chains) such that their distributions outside of any neighborhood of a "singular" point attract to some probability law. In any neighborhood of this point the behavior…

In this paper, we establish the law of the iterated logarithm for a wide class of non-stationary, continuous-time Markov processes evolving on Polish spaces. Specifically, our result applies to certain additive functionals of processes…

In this paper, we study a subclass of piecewise-deterministic Markov processes with a Polish state space, involving deterministic motion punctuated by random jumps that occur at exponentially distributed time intervals. Over each of these…

We study Markov chains on $\mathbb Z^m$, $m\geq 2$, that behave like a standard symmetric random walk outside of the hyperplane (membrane) $H=\{0\}\times \mathbb Z^{m-1}$. The transition probabilities on the membrane $H$ are periodic and…

We consider a linear skew product with the full shift in the base and nonzero Lyapunov exponent in the fiber. We provide a sharp estimate for the precision of shadowing for a typical pseudotrajectory of finite length. This result indicates…

We consider random resistor networks with nodes given by a point process on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and with random conductances. The length range of the electrical filaments can be unbounded. We assume that the randomness is stationary and ergodic…

We discuss a Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) procedure for the random sampling of some one-dimensional lattice paths with constraints, for various constraints. We show that an approach inspired by optimal transport allows us to bound…

We consider random walks in dynamic random environments, with an environment generated by the time-reversal of a Markov process from the oriented percolation universality class. If the influence of the random medium on the walk is small in…

We derive sub-Gaussian bounds for the annealed transition density of the simple random walk on a high-dimensional loop-erased random walk. The walk dimension that appears in these is the exponent governing the space-time scaling of the…

We present a real space renormalization-group map for probabilities of random walks on a hierarchical lattice. From this, we study the asymptotic behavior of the end-to-end distance of a weakly self- avoiding random walk (SARW) that…

The aim of this article is to prove that diffusion processes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a drift can be approximated by suitable Markov chains on $n^{-1}\mathbb{Z}^d$. Moreover, we investigate sufficient conditions on the conductances which…

We prove a metric space scaling limit for a critical random graph with independent and identically distributed degrees having power-law tail behaviour with exponent $\alpha+1$, where $\alpha \in (1,2)$. The limiting components are…

Many complex systems exhibit interactions that depend not only on pairwise connections, but also group structures and memory effects. To capture such effects, we develop a unified tensor framework for modeling higher-order Markov chains…

In this paper, we give quantitative bounds on the $f$-total variation distance from convergence of an Harris recurrent Markov chain on an arbitrary under drift and minorisation conditions implying ergodicity at a sub-geometric rate. These…

We study the approximation of a Markov chain on a reduced state space, for both discrete- and continuous-time Markov chains. In this context, we extend the existing theory of formal error bounds for the approximated transient distributions.…

In the thesis we take the split chain approach to analyzing Markov chains and use it to establish fixed-width results for estimators obtained via Markov chain Monte Carlo procedures (MCMC). Theoretical results include necessary and…

The treatment of two-dimensional random walks in the quarter plane leads to Markov processes which involve semi-infinite matrices having Toeplitz or block Toeplitz structure plus a low-rank correction. Finding the steady state probability…
