We consider renewal processes where events, which can for instance be the zero crossings of a stochastic process, occur at random epochs of time. The intervals of time between events, $\tau_{1},\tau_{2},...$, are independent and identically…

We consider continuous time random walks (CTRW) for open systems that exchange energy and matter with multiple reservoirs. Each waiting time distribution (WTD) for times between steps is characterized by a positive parameter a, which is set…

Let $\big(M_k, Q_k\big)_{k\in\mathbb{N}}$ be independent copies of an $\mathbb{R}^2$-valued random vector. It is known that if $Y_n:=Q_1+M_1Q_2+...+M_1\cdot...\cdot M_{n-1}Q_n$ converges a.s. to a random variable $Y$, then the law of $Y$…

Let $(\mathbb X, T)$ be a subshift of finite type equipped with the Gibbs measure $\nu$ and let $f$ be a real-valued H\"older continuous function on $\mathbb X$ such that $\nu(f) = 0$. Consider the Birkhoff sums $S_n f = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} f…

We study a general class of random walks driven by a uniquely ergodic Markovian environment. Under a coupling condition on the environment we obtain strong ergodicity properties and concentration inequalities for the environment as seen…

Two fundamental theorems by Spitzer/Erickson and Kesten/Maller on the fluctuation type (positive divergence, negative divergence or oscillation) of a real-valued random walk $(S_{n})_{n\ge 0}$ with iid increments $X_{1},X_{2},\ldots$ and…

Let $Z_{n,}n=0,1,...,$ be a branching process evolving in the random environment generated by a sequence of iid generating functions $% f_{0}(s),f_{1}(s),...,$ and let $S_{0}=0,S_{k}=X_{1}+...+X_{k},k\geq 1,$ be the associated random walk…

Suppose that $X$ is a simple random walk on $\Z_n^d$ for $d \geq 3$ and, for each $t$, we let $\U(t)$ consist of those $x \in \Z_n^d$ which have not been visited by $X$ by time $t$. Let $\tcov$ be the expected amount of time that it takes…

The self-repelling random walk with directed edges was introduced by T\'oth and Vet\H{o} in 2008 as a nearest-neighbor random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ that is non-Markovian: at each step, the probability to cross a directed edge depends on the…

We study the first exit time $\tau$ from an arbitrary cone with apex at the origin by a non-homogeneous random walk (Markov chain) on $\Z^d$ ($d \geq 2$) with mean drift that is asymptotically zero. Specifically, if the mean drift at $\bx…

We survey some geometrical properties of trajectories of $d$-dimensional random walks via the application of functional limit theorems. We focus on the functional law of large numbers and functional central limit theorem (Donsker's…

Let $(X_1, \xi_1), (X_2,\xi_2),\ldots$ be i.i.d.~copies of a pair $(X,\xi)$ where $X$ is a random process with paths in the Skorokhod space $D[0,\infty)$ and $\xi$ is a positive random variable. Define $S_k := \xi_1+\ldots+\xi_k$, $k \in…

A random walk (or a Wiener process), possibly with drift, is observed in a noisy or delayed fashion. The problem considered in this paper is to estimate the first time \tau the random walk reaches a given level. Specifically, the p-moment…

The statistics of the slowest first-passage time among a large population of $N$ searchers is crucial for determining the completion time of many stochastic processes. Classical extreme-value theory predicts that for diffusing particles in…

Let $\left\{ S_{n},n\geq 0\right\} $ be a random walk whose increment distribution belongs without centering to the domain of attraction of an $% \alpha $-stable law, i.e., there are some scaling constants $a_{n}$ such that the sequence…

Let $G$ be a group with a non-elementary action on a proper CAT(0) space $X$, and let $\mu$ be a measure on $G$ such that the random walk $(Z_n)_n$ generated by $\mu$ has finite second moment on $X$. Let $o$ be a basepoint in $X$, and…

Even after decades of research the problem of first passage time statistics for quantum dynamics remains a challenging topic of fundamental and practical importance. Using a projective measurement approach, with a sampling time $\tau$, we…

The study of discrete-time stochastic processes on the half-line with mean drift at $x$ given by $\mu_1 (x) \to 0$ as $x \to \infty$ is known as Lamperti's problem. We give sharp almost-sure bounds for processes of this type in the case…

We consider a branching random walk on $\mathbb{R}$ with a stationary and ergodic environment $\xi=(\xi_n)$ indexed by time $n\in\mathbb{N}$. Let $Z_n$ be the counting measure of particles of generation $n$. For the case where the…

We prove a version of Nagaev's theorem for the branching random walk with heavy-tailed associated random walk. For a branching random walk on $\mathbb{R}$ we consider the random measure $Z_n = \sum_{|u|=n} e^{-V_u} \delta_{V_u}$ where…
