We consider random walk among random conductances where the conductance environment is shift invariant and ergodic. We study which moment conditions of the conductances guarantee speed zero of the random walk. We show that if there exists…

In this paper we investigate rods made of nonlinearly elastic, composite--materials that feature a micro-heterogeneous prestrain that oscillates (locally periodic) on a scale that is small compared to the length of the rod. As a main result…

The appearance of topological effects in systems exhibiting a non-trivial topological band structure strongly relies on the coherent wave nature of the equations of motion. Here, we reveal topological dynamics in a classical stochastic…

We consider discrete non-divergence form difference operators in a random environment and the corresponding process--the random walk in a balanced random environment in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with a finite range of dependence. We first quantify the…

We consider a discrete-time random motion, Markov chain on the Poincar\'{e} disk. In the basic variant of the model a particle moves along certain circular arcs within the disk, its location is determined by a composition of random…

The probability density function of single-point velocity fluctuations in turbulence is studied systematically using Fourier coefficients in the energy-containing range. In ideal turbulence where energy-containing motions are random and…

We present a fractional counterpart of a generalized Kohler-Jobin inequality, showing that, among all bounded, open sets $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with Lipschitz boundary, having the same fractional torsional rigidity, the first…

We introduce a new Neumann problem for the fractional Laplacian arising from a simple probabilistic consideration, and we discuss the basic properties of this model. We can consider both elliptic and parabolic equations in any domain. In…

For each open, bounded and convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{D},$ $D\geq 2$, and each real number $p>1,$ we denote by $u_{p}$ the $p$\emph{-torsion function} on $\Omega $, i.e. the solution of the \emph{torsional creep problem}…

We study continuous time random walks on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ (with $d \geq 2$) among random conductances $\{ \omega(\{x,y\}) : x,y \in \mathbb{Z}^d\}$ that permit jumps of arbitrary length. The law of the random variables $\omega(\{x,y\})$,…
