In this work we introduce the dynamic $\Theta$-random graph and the associated $\Theta$-coalescent with momentum. Dynamic $\Theta$-random graphs are a subclass of exchangeable and consistent random graph processes, parametrised by a measure…

We study the connective constants of weighted self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on infinite graphs and groups. The main focus is upon weighted SAWs on finitely generated, virtually indicable groups. Such groups possess so-called 'height…

A method is described to count simple diagonal walks on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with a fixed starting point and endpoint on one of the axes and a fixed winding angle around the origin. The method involves the decomposition of such walks into smaller…

Ideas of Kn\"odel and B\"ohm-Hornik about walks in certain graphs, resembling the classical symmetric random walk on the integers, are combined. All the relevant generating functions (although occasionally quite involved) are made fully…

We consider the generating function of the algebraic area of lattice walks, evaluated at a root of unity, and its relation to the Hofstadter model. In particular, we obtain an expression for the generating function of the n-th moments of…

As countless examples show, it can be fruitful to study a sequence of complicated objects all at once via the formalism of generating functions. We apply this point of view to the homology and combinatorics of orbit configuration spaces:…

We investigate two recently introduced graph parameters, both of which measure the complexity of the tree decompositions of a given graph. Recall that the treewidth ${\rm tw}(G)$ of a graph $G$ measures the largest number of vertices…
