We obtain scaling and local limit results for large random Young tableaux of fixed shape $\lambda^0$ via the asymptotic analysis of a determinantal point process due to Gorin and Rahman (2019). More precisely, we prove: (1) an explicit…

We study an urn process containing red and blue balls and two different strategies to reinforce the urn. Namely, a generalized P\'olya-type strategy versus an i.i.d. one. At each step, one of the two reinforcement strategies is chosen by…

For a martingale $(X_n)$ converging almost surely to a random variable $X$, the sequence $(X_n - X)$ is called martingale tail sum. Recently, Neininger [Random Structures Algorithms, 46 (2015), 346-361] proved a central limit theorem for…

In this paper we prove a functional limit theorem for the weighted profile of a $b$-ary tree. For the proof we use classical martingales connected to branching Markov processes and a generalized version of the profile-polynomial martingale.…

We consider triangular P\'olya urns and show under very weak conditions a general strong limit theorem of the form $X_{ni}/a_{ni}\to \mathcal{X}_i$ a.s., where $X_{ni}$ is the number of balls of colour $i$ after $n$ draws; the constants…

This paper introduces a new combinatorial framework for modeling the growth of binary trees through a discrete evolution process that incorporates a growing rule and an extinction rule. Building upon the theory of increasingly labeled…

We study a P\'olya-type urn model defined as follows. Start at time 0 with a single ball of some colour. Then, at each time n>0, choose a ball from the urn uniformly at random. With probability 1/2<p<1, return the ball to the urn along with…

We study a generalized P\'{o}lya urn model with two types of ball. If the drawn ball is red, it is replaced together with a black ball, but if the drawn ball is black it is replaced and a red ball is thrown out of the urn. When only black…

This is a technical note which extends the results of Kosygina, Mountford and Peterson (Ann. Probab., 51(5):1684-1728, 2023, Section 4) about generalized P\'olya's urns from a specific weight function $w(n) = (n+1)^{-\alpha}$ to a general…

In this work we consider random two-colourings of random linear preferential attachment trees, which includes random recursive trees, random plane-oriented recursive trees, random binary search trees, and a class of random $d$-ary trees.…

We study the evolution of the population genealogy in the classic neutral Moran Model of finite size and in discrete time. The stochastic transformations that shape a Moran population can be realized directly on its genealogy and give rise…

We exploit a bijection between plane recursive trees and Stirling permutations; this yields the equivalence of some results previously proven separately by different methods for the two types of objects as well as some new results. We also…

P\'olya trees are rooted trees considered up to symmetry. We establish the convergence of large uniform random P\'olya trees with arbitrary degree restrictions to Aldous' Continuum Random Tree with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff metric.…

We consider a Markov evolution of lozenge tilings of a quarter-plane and study its asymptotics at large times. One of the boundary rays serves as a reflecting wall. We observe frozen and liquid regions, prove convergence of the local…

We introduce two models for multi-type random trees motivated by studies of trait dependence in the evolution of species. Our discrete time model, the multi-type ERM tree, is a generalization of Markov propagation models on a random tree…

Generalized P\'olya urns with non-linear feedback are an established probabilistic model to describe the dynamics of growth processes with reinforcement, a generic example being competition of agents in evolving markets. It is well known…

We consider supercritical Bernoulli bond percolation on a large $b$-ary tree, in the sense that with high probability, there exists a giant cluster. We show that the size of the giant cluster has non-gaussian fluctuations, which extends a…

We investigate a process of growth of a signed network that strictly adheres to Heider structural balance rules, resulting in two opposing, growing factions. New agents make contact with a random existing agent and join one of the factions…

We consider a Yule process until the total population reaches size $n\gg 1$, and assume that neutral mutations occur with high probability $1-p$ (in the sense that each child is a new mutant with probability $1-p$, independently of the…

We present new links between some remarkable martingales found in the study of the Binary Search Tree, or of the Bisection Problem, looking at them on the probability space of a continuous time binary branching process.
