It is shown that oriented random walk on the Heisenberg group admits exponential intersection tail. As a corollary we get that on any transitive graph of polynomial volume growth, which is not a finite extension of $\mathbb{Z},…

We show that the probability that a finitely supported random walk on a non-elementary subgroup of the the mapping class group gives a non-pseudo-Anosov element decays exponentially in the length of the random walk. More generally, we show…

Many diffusive systems involve correlated random walkers due to a shared environment. Such systems can be modeled as random walks in random environments (RWRE). These models differ from classical diffusion in the behavior of the extremes --…

The nearest neighbor contacts between the two halves of an N-site lattice self-avoiding walk offer an unusual example of scaling random geometry: for N going to infinity they are strictly finite in number but their radius of gyration Rc is…

We analyze $n - \bar n$ oscillations in generic models with large extra dimensions in which standard-model fields propagate and fermion wavefunctions have strong localization. We find that in these models $n - \bar n$ oscillations might…

The order $O_n(\sigma)$ of a permutation $\sigma$ of $n$ objects is the smallest integer $k \geq 1$ such that the $k$-th iterate of $\sigma$ gives the identity. A remarkable result about the order of a uniformly chosen permutation is due to…

We study derangements of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ under the Ewens distribution with parameter $\theta$. We give the moments and marginal distributions of the cycle counts, the number of cycles, and asymptotic distributions for large $n$. We…

We describe the limit (for two topologies) of large uniform random square permutations, i.e., permutations where every point is a record. The starting point for all our results is a sampling procedure for asymptotically uniform square…

A shift-periodic map is a one-dimensional map from the real line to itself which is periodic up to a linear translation and allowed to have singularities. It is shown that iterative sequences $x_{n+1}=F(x_n)$ generated by such maps display…

We derive exponential bounds on probabilities of large deviations for "light tail" martingales taking values in finite-dimensional normed spaces. Our primary emphasis is on the case where the bounds are dimension-independent or nearly so.…

Rotor walk is a deterministic analogue of random walk. We study its recurrence and transience properties on Z^d for the initial configuration of all rotors aligned. If n particles in turn perform rotor walks starting from the origin, we…

A random walk $w_n$ on a separable, geodesic hyperbolic metric space $X$ converges to the boundary $\partial X$ with probability one when the step distribution supports two independent loxodromics. In particular, the random walk makes…

This note will give an enumeration of $n$-cycles in the symmetric group ${\mathcal S}_n$ by their degree (also known as their cyclic descent number) and studies similar counting problems for the conjugacy classes of $n$-cycles under the…

We consider extremal eigenvalues of sparse random matrices, a class of random matrices including the adjacency matrices of Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs $\mathcal{G}(N,p)$. Recently, it was shown that the leading order fluctuations of extremal…

We study proportions of consecutive occurrences of permutations of a given size. Specifically, the feasible limits of such proportions on large permutations form a region, called feasible region. We show that this feasible region is a…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of a version of the one-dimensional Mott random walk in a regime that exhibits severe blocking. We establish that, for any fixed time, the appropriately-rescaled Mott random walk is situated between two…

Stationary probability distributions of one-dimensional random walks on lattices with aperiodic disorder are investigated. The pattern of the distribution is closely related to the diffusional behavior, which depends on the wandering…

We show that, in the semiclassical limit and whenever the elements of the Hamiltonian matrix are random enough, the eigenvectors of strongly chaotic time-independent systems in ordered bases can on average be exponentially localized across…

In this text, we consider an N by N random matrix X such that all but o(N) rows of X have W non identically zero entries, the other rows having lass than $W$ entries (such as, for example, standard or cyclic band matrices). We always…

We prove moderate deviations bounds for the lower tail of the number of odd cycles in a $\calG(n, m)$ random graph. We show that the probability of decreasing triangle density by $t^3$, is $\exp(-\Theta(n^2 t^2))$ whenever $n^{-3/4} \ll t^3…
