We consider random walks perturbed at zero which behave like (possibly different) random walks with i.i.d. increments on each half lines and restarts at $0$ whenever they cross that point. We show that the perturbed random walk, after being…
The main purpose of this work is to define planar self-intersection local time by an alternative approach which is based on an almost sure pathwise approximation of planar Brownian motion by simple, symmetric random walks. As a result,…
A symmetric branching random walk (BRW) on a free group $\mathbb{F}$ is transient if and only if the mean offspring number $r$ does not exceed $R$, the reciprocal of the spectral radius of the underlying random walk. In this regime, the…
We present an alternative to the well-known Anderson's formula for the probability that a first exit time from the planar region between two slopping lines -a_1 t -b_1 and a_2 t + b_2 by a standard Brownian motion is greater than T. As the…
In Brownian last-passage percolation (BLPP), the Busemann functions $\mathcal B^{\theta}(\mathbf x,\mathbf y)$ are indexed by two points $\mathbf x,\mathbf y \in \mathbb Z \times \mathbb R$, and a direction parameter $\theta > 0$. We derive…
The one-dimensional Brownian motion starting from the origin at time $t=0$, conditioned to return to the origin at time $t=1$ and to stay positive during time interval $0 < t < 1$, is called the Bessel bridge with duration 1. We consider…
In this paper, we consider two skew Brownian motions, driven by the same Brownian motion, with different starting points and different skewness coefficients. We show that we can describe the evolution of the distance between the two…
For a symmetric random walk in $Z^2$ with $2+\delta$ moments, we represent $|\mathcal{R}(n)|$, the cardinality of the range, in terms of an expansion involving the renormalized intersection local times of a Brownian motion. We show that for…
Let $B^{\alpha_i}$ be an $(N_i,d)$-fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index ${\alpha_i}$ ($i=1,2$), and let $B^{\alpha_1}$ and $B^{\alpha_2}$ be independent. We prove that, if $\frac{N_1}{\alpha_1}+\frac{N_2}{\alpha_2}>d$, then the…
The joint distribution of maximum increase and decrease for Brownian motion up to an independent exponential time is computed. This is achieved by decomposing the Brownian path at the hitting times of the infimum and the supremum before the…
Let $(Z_n)_{n\in\N}$ be a $d$-dimensional {\it random walk in random scenery}, i.e., $Z_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}Y(S_k)$ with $(S_k)_{k\in\N_0}$ a random walk in $\Z^d$ and $(Y(z))_{z\in\Z^d}$ an i.i.d. scenery, independent of the walk. The…
We study the meeting level between squared Bessel (BESQ) flow lines of different dimensions, and show that it gives rise to a jump Markov process. We apply these results to the skew Brownian flow introduced by Burdzy and Chen…
The two-dimensional Loewner exploration process is generalized to the case where the random force is self-similar with positively correlated increments. We model this random force by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst exponent $H\geq…
It is well-known that the maximal particle in a branching Brownian motion sits near $\sqrt2 t - \frac{3}{2\sqrt2}\log t$ at time $t$. One may then ask about the paths of particles near the frontier: how close can they stay to this critical…
We study limit laws for simple random walks on supercritical long range percolation clusters on $\Z^d, d \geq 1$. For the long range percolation model, the probability that two vertices $x, y$ are connected behaves asymptotically as…
In this paper we present a new and flexible method to show that, in one dimension, various self-repellent random walks converge to self-repellent Brownian motion in the limit of weak interaction after appropriate space-time scaling. Our…
We consider three independent Brownian walkers moving on a line. The process terminates when the left-most walker (the `Leader') meets either of the other two walkers. For arbitrary values of the diffusion constants D_1 (the Leader), D_2…
We consider the $1$-dimensional reflected Brownian motion and $3$-dimensional Bessel process and the general models. By decomposing the hitting times of consecutive sites into loops, we obtain identities, called loop identities, for the…
In this article we study the distribution of the number of points of a simple random walk, visited a given number of times (the k-multiple point range). In a previous article we had developed a graph theoretical approach which is now…
We construct a measure valued Markov process which we call infinite canonical super-Brownian motion, and which corresponds to the canonical measure of super-Brownian motion conditioned on non-extinction. Infinite canonical super-Brownian…
