We consider a variant of random walks on finite groups. At each step, we choose an element from a set of generators ("directions") uniformly, and an integer from a power law ("speed") distribution associated with the chosen direction. We…

Motivated by the random Lorentz gas, we study deterministic walks in random environment and show that (in simple, yet relevant, cases) they can be reduced to a class of random walks in random environment where the jump probability depends…

We describe a new construction of a family of measures on a group with the same Poisson boundary. Our approach is based on applying Markov stopping times to an extension of the original random walk.

Given a random walk $(S_n)$ with typical step distributed according to some fixed law and a fixed parameter $p \in (0,1)$, the associated positively step-reinforced random walk is a discrete-time process which performs at each step, with…

We propose a discrete analogue for the boundary local time of reflected diffusions in bounded Lipschitz domains. This discrete analogue, called the discrete local time, can be effectively simulated in practice and is obtained pathwise from…

Chen [Ann. Appl. Probab. {\bf 11} (2001), 1242--1262] derived exact convergence rates in a central limit theorem and a local limit theorem for a supercritical branching Wiener process.We extend Chen's results to a branching random walk…

For a continuous-time random walk $X=\{X_t,t\ge 0\}$ (in general non-Markov), we study the asymptotic behavior, as $t\rightarrow \infty$, of the normalized additive functional $c_t\int_0^{t} f(X_s)ds$, $t\ge 0$. Similarly to the Markov…

We consider a special case of random walk in random environment (RWRE) on Z^d where the environment is periodic (RWPE). Under natural conditions, we show that law of large numbers and central limit theorem holds. In the ballistic nearest…

Consider a class of null-recurrent randomly biased walks on a super-critical Gaton-Watson tree. We obtain the rates of convergence of the local times and the quenched local probability for the biased walk in the sub-diffusive case. These…

We prove a quenched central limit theorem for random walks in i.i.d. weakly elliptic random environments in the ballistic regime. Such theorems have been proved recently by Rassoul-Agha and Sepp\"al\"ainen in [10] and Berger and Zeitouni in…

Random walks on the circle group $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ whose elementary steps are lattice variables with span $\alpha \not\in \mathbb{Q}$ or $p/q \in \mathbb{Q}$ taken mod $\mathbb{Z}$ exhibit delicate behavior. In the rational case we…

We study a new technique for the asymptotic analysis of heavy-tailed systems conditioned on large deviations events. We illustrate our approach in the context of ruin events of multidimensional regularly varying random walks. Our approach…

Let $\nu\in M^1([0,\infty[)$ be a fixed probability measure. For each dimension $p\in\b N$, let $(X_n^p)_{n\ge1}$ be i.i.d. $\b R^p$-valued radial random variables with radial distribution $\nu$. We derive two central limit theorems for $…

It is well known that random walks in one dimensional random environment can exhibit subdiffusive behavior due to presence of traps. In this paper we show that the passage times of different traps are asymptotically independent exponential…

We consider random variables observed at arrival times of a renewal process, which possibly depends on those observations and has regularly varying steps with infinite mean. Due to the dependence and heavy tailed steps, the limiting…

We prove a quenched central limit theorem for random walks with bounded increments in a randomly evolving environment on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We assume that the transition probabilities of the walk depend not too strongly on the environment and…

We study the discrete quantum groups $\Gamma$ whose group algebra has an inner faithful representation of type $\pi:C^*(\Gamma)\to M_K(\mathbb C)$. Such a representation can be thought of as coming from an embedding $\Gamma\subset U_K$. Our…

In the present paper, we characterize the behavior of supercritical branching processes in random environment with linear fractional offspring distributions, conditioned on having small, but positive values at some large generation. As it…

In this article, the continuous time random walk on the circle is studied. We derive the corresponding generalized master equation and discuss the effects of topology, especially important when Levy flights are allowed. Then, we work out…
