The dynamics of the one-dimensional q-state Potts model, in the zero temperature limit, can be formulated through the motion of random walkers which either annihilate (A + A -> 0) or coalesce (A + A -> A) with a q-dependent probability. We…
We consider the probability $P(t)$ that a given site remains unvisited by any of a set of random walkers in $d$ dimensions undergoing the reaction $A+A\to0$ when they meet. We find that asymptotically $P(t)\sim t^{-\theta}$ with a universal…
The persistence properties of a set of random walkers obeying the A+B -> 0 reaction, with equal initial density of particles and homogeneous initial conditions, is studied using two definitions of persistence. The probability, P(t), that an…

A study of persistence dynamics is made for the first time in a quantum system by considering the dynamics of a quantum random walk. For a discrete walk on a line starting at $x=0$ at time $t=0$, the persistence probability $P(x,t)$ that a…
We study a generalization of the standard trapping problem of random walk theory in which particles move subdiffusively on a one-dimensional lattice. We consider the cases in which the lattice is filled with a one-sided and a two-sided…
We consider a random walk in dimension $d\geq 1$ in a dynamic random environment evolving as an interchange process with rate $\gamma>0$. We only assume that the annealed drift is non-zero. We prove that the empirical velocity of the walker…

We introduce the pushy random walk, where a walker can push multiple obstacles, thereby penetrating large distances in environments with finite obstacle density. This process provides a minimal model for experimentally observed interactions…
We consider the distribution of the duration time, the time elapsed since it began, of a diffusion process given its present position, under the assumption that the process began at the origin. For unbiased diffusion, the distribution does…
We study a reaction-diffusion process that involves two species of atoms, immobile and diffusing. We assume that initially only immobile atoms, uniformly distributed throughout the entire space, are present. Diffusing atoms are injected at…
Dynamical features of tagged particles are studied in a one dimensional $A+A \rightarrow kA$ system for $k=0$ and 1, where the particles $A$ have a bias $\epsilon$ $(0 \leq \epsilon \leq 0.5)$ to hop one step in the direction of their…
Encounters between walkers performing a random motion on an appropriate structure can describe a wide variety of natural phenomena ranging from pharmacokinetics to foraging. On homogeneous structures the asymptotic encounter probability…

We have studied $A+A \rightarrow \emptyset$ reaction-diffusion model on a ring, with a bias $\epsilon$ $(0 \leq \epsilon \leq 0.5)$ of the random walkers $A$ to hop towards their nearest neighbor. Though the bias is local in space and time,…
We consider a system of independent one-dimensional random walkers where new particles are added at the origin at fixed rate whenever there is no older particle present at the origin. A Poisson ansatz leads to a semi-linear lattice heat…
