We establish a connection between exclusion statistics with arbitrary integer exclusion parameter $g$ and a class of random walks on planar lattices. This connection maps the generating function for the number of closed walks of given…

Random walk on discrete lattice models is important to understand various types of transport processes. The extreme events, defined as exceedences of the flux of walkers above a prescribed threshold, have been studied recently in the…

We consider 2d critical Bernoulli percolation on the square lattice. We prove an approximate color-switching lemma comparing k-arm probabilities for different polychromatic color sequences. This result is well-known for site percolation on…

In this paper we derive weak limits for the discretization errors of sampling barrier-hitting and extreme events of Brownian motion by using the Euler discretization simulation method. Specifically, we consider the Euler discretization…

Place an obstacle with probability $1-p$ independently at each vertex of $\mathbb Z^d$, and run a simple random walk until hitting one of the obstacles. For $d\geq 2$ and $p$ strictly above the critical threshold for site percolation, we…

We derive asymptotics for the probability of the origin to be an extremal point of a random walk in R^n. We show that in order for the probability to be roughly 1/2, the number of steps of the random walk should be between e^{c n / log n}$…

We consider weighted graphs satisfying sub-Gaussian estimate for the natural random walk. On such graphs, we study symmetric Markov chains with heavy tailed jumps. We establish a threshold behavior of such Markov chains when the index…

Motivated by a problem arising from pharmaceutical science [B. Baeumer et al., Discr. Contin. Dyn. Sys. B 12], we study random walks on the contact graph of a bidisperse random sphere packing. For a random walk on the unweighted graph that…

We investigate the probability for appearance of knots in self-avoiding loops (SALs) on a cubic lattice. A set of N-step loops is generated by attempting to combine pairs of (N/2)-step self-avoiding walks constructed by a dimerization…

We experimentally investigate the clogging process of granular materials in a two-dimensional hopper, and present a self-consistent physical mechanism of clogging based on preformed dynamic chain structures in the flow. We found that these…

In [3] the radius of convergence of the generating function of the collision local time of two independent copies of an irreducible, symmetric and transient random walk on Zd, d \geq 1, was studied. Two versions were considered: z1, the…

Let $S_n$ be a lattice random walk with mean zero and finite variance, and let $\Lambda^a_n$ be its occupation measure at level $a$. In this note, we prove local limit theorems for $\Pr[S_n=x,\Lambda^a_n=\ell]$ and…

Quantum random walks, - coined, lattice ones, - exhibit ballistic behavior with fascinating asymptotic patterns of the amplitudes. We show that averaging over the coins (using the Haar measure), these patterns blend into a spline. Also, we…

Alexander and Orbach (AO) in 1982 conjectured that the simple random walk on critical percolation clusters (also known as the ant in the labyrinth) in Euclidean lattices exhibit mean field behavior; for instance, its spectral dimension is…

In this research announcement, we show that SLE curves can in fact be viewed as boundaries of certain simple Poissonian percolation clusters: Recall that the Brownian loop-soup (introduced in the paper arxiv:math.PR/0304419 with Greg…

We consider a random walk on top of the contact process on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq 1$. In particular, we focus on the "contact process as seen from the random walk". Under the assumption that the infection rate of the contact process is…

We study the probability that a random walk started inside a subgraph of a larger graph exits that subgraph (or, equivalently, hits the exterior boundary of the subgraph). Considering the chance a random walk started in the subgraph never…

In this paper, we study Gaussian multiplicative chaos in the critical case. We show that the so-called derivative martingale, introduced in the context of branching Brownian motions and branching random walks, converges almost surely (in…

We study random walks on $\mathbb{Z}$ which have a linear (or almost linear) drift towards 0 in a range around 0. This drift leads to a metastable Gaussian distribution centered at zero. We give specific, fast growing, time windows where we…

We prove sandwich theorems and a Tauberian theorem in the space of compact metric measure spaces, endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov (GHP) topology. These results hold with respect to a close relative of Gromov's Lipschitz order.…
