We consider one-dimensional random walks in random environment which are transient to the right. Our main interest is in the study of the sub-ballistic regime, where at time $n$ the particle is typically at a distance of order $O(n^\kappa)$…

We consider a biased nearest-neighbor random walk on $\Z$ which at each step is trapped for some random time with random, site-dependent mean. We derive a simple formula for the speed function in terms of the model parameters.

Consider the time T_oz when the random walk on a weighted graph started at the vertex o first hits the vertex set z. We present lower bounds for T_oz in terms of the volume of z and the graph distance between o and z. The bounds are for…

In this paper, we extend a result of Kesten and Spitzer (1979). Let us consider a stationary sequence $(\xi\_k:=f(T^k(.)))\_k$ given by an invertible probability dynamical system and some centered function $f$. Let $(S\_n)\_n$ be a simple…

Consider a sequence of independent random isometries of Euclidean space with a previously fixed probability law. Apply these isometries successively to the origin and consider the sequence of random points that we obtain this way. We prove…

We consider random walks on the infinite cluster of a conditional bond percolation model on the infinite ladder graph. In a companion paper, we have shown that if the random walk is pulled to the right by a positive bias $\lambda > 0$, then…

We study the Laplacian-infinity path as an extreme case of the Laplacian-alpha random walk. Although, in the finite alpha case, there is reason to believe that the process converges to SLE, we show that this is not the case when alpha is…

We consider a recurrent random walk in random environment on a regular tree. Under suitable general assumptions upon the distribution of the environment, we show that the walk exhibits an unusual slow movement: the order of magnitude of the…

We study one-dimensional nearest neighbour random walk in site-random environment. We establish precise (sharp) large deviations in the so-called ballistic regime, when the random walk drifts to the right with linear speed. In the…

We consider a simple symmetric random walk on a spider, that is a collection of half lines (we call them legs) joined at the origin. Our main question is the following: if the walker makes $n$ steps how high can he go up on all legs. This…

We consider quantum random walks on congested lattices and contrast them to classical random walks. Congestion is modelled with lattices that contain static defects which reverse the walker's direction. We implement a dephasing process…

In this paper, we consider a once-reinforced random walk on the half-line, and give the limiting behaviors of all the moments of its range.

We study in-network computation on general network topologies. Specifically, we are given the description of a function, and a network with distinct nodes at which the operands of the function are made available, and a designated sink where…

We consider the random walk among random conductances on Z^d. We assume that the conductances are independent, identically distributed and uniformly bounded away from 0 and infinity. We obtain a quantitative version of the central limit…

We study a biased random walk on the interlacement set of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d\geq 3$. Although the walk is always transient, we can show, in the case $d=3$, that for any value of the bias the walk has a zero limiting speed and actually…

We prove a strong law of large numbers and an annealed invariance principle for a random walk in a one-dimensional dynamic random environment evolving as the simple exclusion process with jump parameter $\gamma$. First, we establish that if…

The probability that a symmetric random walk in a hyperbolic group reaches a proper power has the same exponential rate of decay as the probability of return to the identity.

Using the discrepancy metric, we analyze the rate of convergence of a random walk on the circle generated by d rotations, and establish sharp rates that show that badly approximable d-tuples in R^d give rise to walks with the fastest…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the number of rarely visited edges (i.e., edges that visited only once) of a simple symmetric random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$. Let $\alpha(n)$ be the number of rarely visited edges up to time…

In this note, we give an original convergence result for products of independent random elements of motion group. Then we consider dynamic random walks which are inhomogeneous Markov chains whose transition probability of each step is, in…
