We study the dynamic scaling properties of an aggregation model in which particles obey both diffusive and driven ballistic dynamics. The diffusion constant and the velocity of a cluster of size $s$ follow $D(s) \sim s^\gamma$ and $v(s)…

In this article, we extend a statistical test of graph clusterability, the $\delta$ test, to directed graphs with no self loops. The $\delta$ test, originally designed for undirected graphs, is based on the premise that graphs with a…

Consider an affine Gaussian field X : R 2 $\rightarrow$ R, that is a process equal in law to Z(At), where Z is isotropic and A : R2 $\rightarrow$ R2 is a self-adjoint definite positive matrix. Denote 0 < $\lambda$ = $\lambda$\_2 /…

We show that Internal Diffusion Limited Aggregation (IDLA) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ has near optimal Cheeger constant when the growing cluster is large enough. This implies, through a heat kernel lower bound derived previously in [H], that simple…

We discuss asymptotics for large random planar maps under the assumption that the distribution of the degree of a typical face is in the domain of attraction of a stable distribution with index $\alpha\in(1,2)$. When the number $n$ of…

We study a system of self-propelled particles (SPPs) in which individual particles are allowed to switch between a fast aligning and a slow nonaligning state depending upon the degree of the alignment in the neighborhood. The switching is…

We use the reflection group trick to glue manifolds with corners that are Borel-Serre compactifications of locally symmetric spaces of noncompact type and obtain aspherical manifolds. We call these \emph{piecewise locally symmetric}…

The main purpose of this paper is to describe some published results and outline corresponding approaches which when applied to automorphism groups of algebras or groups establish that these groups are linear or non-linear.

Considered as commutative algebras, cluster algebras can be very unpleasant objects. However, the first author introduced a condition known as "local acyclicity" which implies that cluster algebras behave reasonably. One of the earliest and…

On the circle of radius $R$ centred at the origin, consider a ``thin'' sector about the fixed line $y = \alpha x$ with edges given by the lines $y = (\alpha \pm \epsilon) x$, where $\epsilon = \epsilon_R \rightarrow 0$ as $ R \to \infty $.…

Let X be an affine variety and L be a solvable Lie subalgebra of Lie(Aut(X)) generated by a finite collection of locally finite Lie subalgebras. The authors of [arXiv:2507.09679] wondered whether L is itself locally finite. Here we present…

The asymptotic results that underlie applications of extreme random fields often assume that the variables are located on a regular discrete grid, identified with $\mathbb{Z}^2$, and that they satisfy stationarity and isotropy conditions.…

We show that a collection of independent Ising spins evolving stochastically can display surprisingly large fluctuations towards ordered behaviour, as quantified by certain types of time-integrated plaquette observables, despite the…

Let M be a monoid (e.g. the lattice Z^D), and A an abelian group. A^M is then a compact abelian group; a linear cellular automaton (LCA) is a continuous endomorphism F:A^M --> A^M that commutes with all shift maps. Let mu be a (possibly…

We investigate the population of z=3 damped Lyman alpha absorbers (DLAs) in a recent series of high resolution galaxy formation simulations. The simulations are of interest because they form at z=0 some of the most realistic disk galaxies…

Let X be a Hadamard manifold and $\Gamma$ a discrete group of isometries of X which contains an axial isometry without invariant flat half plane. We study the behavior of conformal densities on the geometric limit set of $\Gamma$ in order…

We study random walks on groups with the feature that, roughly speaking, successive positions of the walk tend to be "aligned". We formalize and quantify this property by means of the notion of deviation inequalities. We show that deviation…

In this paper we apply techniques of spherical harmonic analysis to prove a local limit theorem, a rate of escape theorem, and a central limit theorem for isotropic random walks on arbitrary thick regular affine buildings of irreducible…

Anisotropy at the level of the inter-particle interaction provides the particles with specific instructions for the self-assembly of target structures. The ability to synthesize non-spherical colloids, together with the possibility of…

We describe infinite clusters which arise in nearest-neighbour percolation for so-called cocycle measures on the square lattice. These measures arise naturally in the study of random transformations. We show that infinite clusters have a…
