We consider Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson trees in random environment, where each generation $k$ is attributed a random offspring distribution $\mu_k$, and $(\mu_k)_{k\geq 0}$ is a sequence of independent and identically distributed random…

We consider random walks in dynamic random environments which arise naturally as spatial embeddings of ancestral lineages in spatial locally regulated population models. In particular, as the main result, we prove the quenched central limit…

We show that the trace of the null recurrent biased random walk on a Galton-Watson tree properly renormalized converges to the Brownian forest. Our result extends to the setting of the random walk in random environment on a Galton-Watson…

We prove a quenched central limit theorem for random walks with bounded increments in a randomly evolving environment on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We assume that the transition probabilities of the walk depend not too strongly on the environment and…

We study branching processes in an i.i.d. random environment, where the associated random walk is of the oscillating type. This class of processes generalizes the classical notion of criticality. The main properties of such branching…

The primary purpose of this article is to prove a tightness of skew random walks. The tightness result implies, in particular, that the skew Brownian motion can be constructed as the scaling limit of such random walks. Our proof of…

We consider random walks in dynamic random environments, with an environment generated by the time-reversal of a Markov process from the oriented percolation universality class. If the influence of the random medium on the walk is small in…

A random walk in random scenery $(Y_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is given by $Y_n=\xi_{S_n}$ for a random walk $(S_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ and iid random variables $(\xi_n)_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}$. In this paper, we will show the weak convergence of the…
