We consider a random walk on a homogeneous space $G/\Lambda$ where $G$ is $\mathrm{SO}(2,1)$ or $\mathrm{SO}(3,1)$ and $\Lambda$ is a lattice. The walk is driven by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense…

The vicious random walker problem on a one dimensional lattice is considered. Many walkers take simultaneous steps on the lattice and the configurations in which two of them arrive at the same site are prohibited. It is known that the…

We discuss the question of recurrence for persistent, or Newtonian, random walks in Z^2, i.e., random walks whose transition probabilities depend both on the walker's position and incoming direction. We use results by Toth and Schmidt-Conze…

The lackadaisical quantum walk is a lazy version of a discrete-time, coined quantum walk, where each vertex has a weighted self-loop that permits the walker to stay put. They have been used to speed up spatial search on a variety of graphs,…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the simple random walk on oriented version of $\mathbb{Z}^2$. The considered latticesare not directed on the vertical axis but unidirectional on the horizontal one, with symmetric random orientations…

The Dirac equation can be modelled as a quantum walk, with the quantum walk being: discrete in time and space (i.e. a unitary evolution of the wave-function of a particle on a lattice); homogeneous (i.e. translation-invariant and…

The random walk with hyperbolic probabilities that we are introducing is an example of stochastic diffusion in a one-dimensional heterogeneous media. Although driven by site-dependent one-step transition probabilities, the process retains…

We prove the limit theorem for paths of random walks with $n$ steps in $\mathbb{R}^d$ as $n$ and $d$ both go to infinity. For this, the paths are viewed as finite metric spaces equipped with the $\ell_p$-metric for $p\in[1,\infty)$. Under…

We apply the supersymmetric procedure to one-step random walks in one dimension at the level of the usual master equation, extending a study initiated by H.R. Jauslin [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 41}, 3407 (1990)]. A discussion of the supersymmetric…

A crinkled subordinator is an $\ell^2$-valued random process which can be thought of as a version of the usual one-dimensional subordinator with each out of countably many jumps being in a direction orthogonal to the directions of all other…

We study a random walk in random environment on the non-negative integers. The random environment is not homogeneous in law, but is a mixture of two kinds of site, one in asymptotically vanishing proportion. The two kinds of site are (i)…

In this paper we study a random walk in a one-dimensional dynamic random environment consisting of a collection of independent particles performing simple symmetric random walks in a Poisson equilibrium with density $\rho \in (0,\infty)$.…

By analysing an n-dimensional generalisation of Thomas's cyclically symmetric attractor we find that this chaotic dynamical system behaves like a random walk constrained onto the surface of a hypersphere. The growth of error is limited,…

The expected hitting time of discrete quantum walks on a hypercube (HC) is numerically known to be exponentially shorter than that of their classical analogs in terms of the scaling with the HC dimension. Recent numerical analyses…
