In this note we show that the 2D continuum Gaussian free field (GFF) admits an excursion decomposition that is on the one hand similar to the classical excursion decomposition of the Brownian motion, and on the other hand can be seen as an…
We consider regenerative processes with values in some Polish space. We define their \epsilon-big excursions as excursions e such that f(e)>\epsilon, where f is some given functional on the space of excursions which can be thought of as,…
We discuss walking behavior in gauge theories and weak first-order phase transitions in statistical physics. Despite appearing in very different systems (QCD below the conformal window, the Potts model, deconfined criticality) these two…
We propose new parameterizations for the border and skewness functions appearing in the description of 3D nucleon structure in the language of Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs). These parameterizations are constructed in a way to…
We extend the random walk framework to include compounded steps, providing first-passage time (FPT) properties for a new class of superdiffusive processes, which are governed by the space-fractional spectral Fokker-Planck equation. This…
It is well established that the $O(N)$ Wilson-Fisher (WF) CFT sits at a kink of the numerical bounds from bootstrapping four point function of $O(N)$ vector. Moving away from the WF kinks, there indeed exists another family of kinks (dubbed…
In this paper, we investigate some geometric functionals for band limited Gaussian and isotropic spherical random fields in dimension 2. In particular, we focus on the area of excursion sets, providing its behavior in the high energy limit.…
We consider first passage percolation (FPP) where the vertex weight is given by the exponential of two-dimensional log-correlated Gaussian fields. Our work is motivated by understanding the discrete analog for the random metric associated…
The study of convolution powers of a finitely supported probability distribution $\phi$ on the $d$-dimensional square lattice is central to random walk theory. For instance, the $n$th convolution power $\phi^{(n)}$ is the distribution of…
We establish the strong L2(P)-convergence of properly rescaled Wick powers as the power index tends to infinity. The explicit representation of such limit will also provide the convergence in distribution to normal and log-normal random…
In cosmic web analysis, complementary to traditional cosmological probes, the extrema (e.g. peaks and voids) two-point correlation functions (2PCFs) are of particular interest for the study of both astrophysical phenomena and cosmological…
We analyze random walk through fractal environments, embedded in 3-dimensional, permeable space. Particles travel freely and are scattered off into random directions when they hit the fractal. The statistical distribution of the flight…
We show that the range of a critical branching random walk conditioned to survive forever and the Minkowski sum of two independent simple random walk ranges are intersection-equivalent in any dimension $d\ge 5$, in the sense that they hit…
The family of Vicsek fractals is one of the most important and frequently-studied regular fractal classes, and it is of considerable interest to understand the dynamical processes on this treelike fractal family. In this paper, we…
We study the additive functional $X_n(\alpha)$ on conditioned Galton-Watson trees given, for arbitrary complex $\alpha$, by summing the $\alpha$th power of all subtree sizes. Allowing complex $\alpha$ is advantageous, even for the study of…
This work provides a systematic study of the variational properties of decomposable functions which are compositions of an outer support function and an inner smooth mapping under certain constraint qualifications. A particular focus is put…
We present the first application of the Poisson-Wiseman-Anderson method of matched expansions, to compute the self-force acting on a point particle moving in a curved spacetime. The method uses two expansions for the Green function, valid…
In this note we consider the problem of extracting the corrections to CFT data induced by the exchange of a primary operator and its descendents in the crossed channel. We show how those corrections which are analytic in spin can be…
We consider the survival probability $f(t)$ of a random walk with a constant hopping rate $w$ on a host lattice of fractal dimension $d$ and spectral dimension $d_s\le 2$, with spatially correlated traps. The traps form a sublattice with…
The Fourier-Bessel expansion of a function on a circular disc yields a simple series representation for the end-to-end probability distribution function w(R,phi) encountered in a planar persistent random walk, where the direction taken in a…
