We present an analytical approach to study simple symmetric random walks (RWs) on a crossing geometry consisting of a plane square lattice crossed by $n_l$ number of lines that all meet each other at a single point (the origin) on the…
We compute analytically the probability $S(t)$ that a set of $N$ Brownian paths do not cross each other and stay below a moving boundary $g(\tau)= W \sqrt{\tau}$ up to time $t$. We show that for large $t$ it decays as a power law $S(t) \sim…
Let \{B_t^H,t\geq0\} be a d-dimensional fractional Brownian motion. We prove that the approximation of the first-order derivative of self-intersection local time, defined as…
We consider an Ornstein-Uhleneck (OU) process associated to self-normalised sums in i.i.d. symmetric random variables from the domain of attraction of $N(0, 1)$ distribution. We proved the self-normalised sums converge to the OU process (in…
We introduce a natural family of random walks on the set of integers that scale to fractional Brownian motion. The increments X_n have the property that given {X_k: k < n}, the conditional law of X_n is that of X_{n-k_n}, where k_n is…
We consider two depending Wiener processes which have membranes at zero with different permeability coefficients. Starting from different points, the processes almost surely do not meet at any fixed point except that where membranes are…
Motivated by critical planar percolation, we investigate a ``backbone'' event of planar Brownian motion, i.e.~the existence of two disjoint subpaths on the Brownian trajectory connecting the $\varepsilon$-neighborhood of the starting point…
We consider a biased random walk $X_n$ on a Galton-Watson tree with leaves in the sub-ballistic regime. We prove that there exists an explicit constant $\gamma= \gamma(\beta) \in (0,1)$, depending on the bias $\beta$, such that $X_n$ is of…
Let $\xi$ n , n $\in$ N be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with values in Z. The associated random walk on Z is S(n) = $\xi$ 1 + $\times$ $\times$ $\times$ + $\xi$ n+1 and the corresponding "reflected walk" on N 0 is the Markov chain…
Let B be a Brownian motion and T its first hitting time of the level 1. For U a uniform random variable independent of B, we study in depth the distribution of T^{-1/2}B_{UT}, that is the rescaled Brownian motion sampled at uniform time. In…
We consider the occupation area of spherical (fractional) Brownian motion, i.e. the area where the process is positive, and show that it is uniformly distributed. For the proof, we introduce a new simple combinatorial view on occupation…
We consider certain one dimensional ordinary stochastic differential equations driven by additive Brownian motion of variance $\varepsilon ^2$. When $\varepsilon =0$ such equations have an unstable non-hyperbolic fixed point and the drift…
We obtain upper bounds for the rates of convergence for the simple random walk Green's function in the domains $D_\alpha = D_{\alpha}(n)=\{re^{i\theta}\in \mathbb{C}:0 <\theta<2\pi-\alpha, 0<r<2n\}-z_0,$ where $z_0\in\mathbb{Z}^2$ is a…
We present a new simple method for rounding a semidefinite programming relaxation of a constraint satisfaction problem. We apply it to the problem of approximate angular synchronization. Specifically, we are given directed distances on a…
Let {X_n,n\geq0} be a Markov chain on a general state space X with transition probability P and stationary probability \pi. Suppose an additive component S_n takes values in the real line R and is adjoined to the chain such that…
We consider one-dimensional Brownian motion conditioned (in a suitable sense) to have a local time at every point and at every moment bounded by some fixed constant. Our main result shows that a phenomenon of entropic repulsion occurs: that…
The purpose of this note is to collect in one place a few results about simple random walk and Brownian motion which are often useful. These include standard results such as Beurling estimates, large deviation estimates, and a method for…
We show that for all positive beta the semigroups of beta-Dyson Brownian motions of different dimensions are intertwined. The proof relates beta-Dyson Brownian motions directly to Jack symmetric polynomials and omits an approximation of the…
The Sine-Gordon model is obtained by tilting the law of a log-correlated Gaussian field $X$ defined on a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ by the exponential of its cosine, namely $\exp(\alpha \smallint \cos (\beta X))$. It is an important model in…
We consider random walks with independent but not necessarily identical distributed increments. Assuming that the increments satisfy the well-known Lindeberg condition, we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of first-passage times over…
