The random-cluster model with parameters $(p,q)$ is a random graph model that generalizes bond percolation ($q=1$) and the Ising and Potts models ($q\geq 2$). We study its Glauber dynamics on $n\times n$ boxes $\Lambda_{n}$ of the integer…
We establish rapid mixing of the random-cluster Glauber dynamics on random $\Delta$-regular graphs for all $q\ge 1$ and $p<p_u(q,\Delta)$, where the threshold $p_u(q,\Delta)$ corresponds to a uniqueness/non-uniqueness phase transition for…

Establishing cutoff, an abrupt transition from "not mixed" to "well mixed", is a classical topic in the theory of mixing times for Markov chains. Interest has grown recently in determining not only the existence of cutoff and the order of…

We consider random walks in dynamic random environments given by Markovian dynamics on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We assume that the environment has a stationary distribution $\mu$ and satisfies the Poincar\'e inequality w.r.t. $\mu$. The random walk…
We consider a discrete time biased random walk conditioned to avoid Bernoulli obstacles on ${\mathbb Z}^d$ ($d\geq 2$) up to time $N$. This model is known to undergo a phase transition: for a large bias, the walk is ballistic whereas for a…

A connection is made between the random turns model of vicious walkers and random permutations indexed by their increasing subsequences. Consequently the scaled distribution of the maximum displacements in a particular asymmeteric version…
In continuum one-dimensional space, a coupled directed continuous time random walk model is proposed, where the random walker jumps toward one direction and the waiting time between jumps affects the subsequent jump. In the proposed model,…
We investigate random walks on complex networks and derive an exact expression for the mean first passage time (MFPT) between two nodes. We introduce for each node the random walk centrality $C$, which is the ratio between its coordination…
We consider a walker moving in a one-dimensional interval with absorbing boundaries under the effect of Markovian resettings to the initial position. The walker's motion follows a random walk characterized by a general waiting time…
We focus on two models of nearest-neighbour random walks on d-dimensional regular hyper-cubic lattices that are usually assumed to be identical - the discrete-time Polya walk, in which the walker steps at each integer moment of time, and…
