We compute a number of distance-dependent universal scaling functions characterizing the distance statistics of large maps of genus one. In particular, we obtain explicitly the probability distribution for the length of the shortest…

We study the convex hull of the first $n$ steps of a planar random walk, and present large-$n$ asymptotic results on its perimeter length $L_n$, diameter $D_n$, and shape. In the case where the walk has a non-zero mean drift, we show that…

How long does a self-avoiding walk on a discrete $d$-dimensional torus have to be before it begins to behave differently from a self-avoiding walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$? We consider a version of this question for weakly self-avoiding walk on a…

We consider random walks on the torus arising from the action of the group of affine transformations. We give a quantitative equidistribution result for this random walk under the assumption that the Zariski closure of the group generated…

Loop-erased random walk, abbreviated LERW, is one of the most well-studied critical lattice models. It is the self-avoiding random walk one gets after erasing the loops from a simple random walk in order or alternatively by considering the…

The determination of the Hausdorff dimension of the scaling limit of loop-erased random walk is closely related to the study of the one-point function of loop-erased random walk, i.e., the probability a loop-erased random walk passes…

We provide Monte Carlo estimates of the scaling of the length $L_{n}$ of the longest increasing subsequences of $n$-steps random walks for several different distributions of step lengths, short and heavy-tailed. Our simulations indicate…

We consider random walks on $\Z^8$ indexed by the infinite invariant tree, which consists of an infinite spine and finite random trees attached to it on both sides. We establish the precise order of the non-intersection probability between…

We study tree-indexed random walks as introduced by Benjamini, H\"aggstr\"om, and Mossel, i.e. labelings of a tree for which adjacent vertices have labels differing by 1. It is a conjecture of those authors that the distribution of the…

We examine isotropic and anisotropic random walks which begin on the surface of linear ($N$), square ($N \times N$), or cubic ($N \times N \times N$) lattices and end upon encountering the surface again. The mean length of walks is equal to…

We consider a one-dimensional Brownian motion of fixed duration $T$. Using a path-integral technique, we compute exactly the probability distribution of the difference $\tau=t_{\min}-t_{\max}$ between the time $t_{\min}$ of the global…

We prove that the dimension drop phenomenon holds for the harmonic measure associated to a transient random walk in a random environment (as defined by R. Lyons and R. Pemantle in 1992 and generalized by G. Faraud in 2011) on an infinite…

The primary purpose of this article is to prove a tightness of skew random walks. The tightness result implies, in particular, that the skew Brownian motion can be constructed as the scaling limit of such random walks. Our proof of…

We study the scaling limit of the capacity of the range of a simple random walk on the integer lattice in dimension four. We establish a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem with a non-gaussian limit. The asymptotic…

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…

Consider the minimum spanning tree (MST) of the complete graph with n vertices, when edges are assigned independent random weights. Endow this tree with the graph distance renormalized by n^{1/3} and with the uniform measure on its…

We consider simple random walk on the incipient infinite cluster for the spread-out model of oriented percolation on $Z^d \times Z_+$. In dimensions $d>6$, we obtain bounds on exit times, transition probabilities, and the range of the…

We consider line ensembles of non-intersecting random walks constrained by a hard wall, each tilted by the area underneath it with geometrically growing pre-factors $\mathfrak{b}^i$ where $\mathfrak{b}>1$. This is a model for the level…

We consider a Tamari interval of size $n$ (i.e., a pair of Dyck paths which are comparable for the Tamari relation) chosen uniformly at random. We show that the height of a uniformly chosen vertex on the upper or lower path scales as…

We study the asymptotic behavior of ``true" self-avoiding random walks on general infinite locally finite trees. In this model, the walk starts at the root and, at each step, from its current vertex chooses a neighboring edge to traverse…
