We consider a self-avoiding walk on the dual $\mathbb{Z}^2$ lattice. This walk can traverse the same square twice but cannot cross the same edge more than once. The weight of each square visited by the walk depends on the way the walk…
We study random walks evolving in continuous time on a one-dimensional lattice where each site $x$ hosts a quenched random potential $U_x$. The potentials on different sites are independent, identically distributed Gaussian random…
This paper proves the long-standing open conjecture rooted in chemical physics (Flory (1949)) that the self-avoiding walk (SAW) in the square lattice has root mean square displacement exponent \nu= 3/4. This value is an instance of the…
We consider the problem of searching a general $d$-dimensional lattice of $N$ vertices for a single marked item using a continuous-time quantum walk. We demand locality, but allow the walk to vary periodically on a small scale. By…
The paper analyzes a specific class of random walks on quotients of $X:=\text{SL}(k,{\Bbb R})/ \Gamma$ for a lattice $\Gamma$. Consider a one parameter diagonal subgroup, $\{g_t\}$, with an associated abelian expanding horosphere, $U\cong…
Self-attracting walks (SATW) with attractive interaction u > 0 display a swelling-collapse transition at a critical u_{\mathrm{c}} for dimensions d >= 2, analogous to the \Theta transition of polymers. We are interested in the structure of…
We consider the possible visits to visible points of a random walker moving up and right in the integer lattice (with probability $\alpha$ and $1-\alpha$, respectively) and starting from the origin. We show that, almost surely, the…
In the first part of this paper, we enumerate exactly walks on the square lattice that start from the origin, but otherwise avoid the non positive horizontal half-axis. We call them "walks on the slit plane". We count them by their length,…

We study the recurrence behaviour of random walks on partially oriented honeycomb lattices. The vertical edges are undirected while the orientation of the horizontal edges is random: depending on their distribution, we prove a.s. transience…

Monte Carlo dynamics of the lattice 48 monomers toy protein is interpreted as a random walk in an abstract (discrete) space of conformations. To test the geometry of this space, we examine the return probability $P(T)$, which is the…
