We study the asymptotic behavior for large N of the disconnection time T_N of simple random walk on a discrete cylinder with base a d-dimensional discrete torus of side-length N. When d is sufficiently large, we are able to substantially…
We investigate the asymptotic disconnection time of a large discrete cylinder $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^{d}\times \mathbb{Z}$, $d\geq 2$, by simple and biased random walks. For simple random walk, we derive a sharp asymptotic lower bound…
We consider a random walk on the discrete cylinder $({\mathbb{Z}}/N{\mathbb{Z}})^d\times{\mathbb{Z}}$, $d\geq3$ with drift $N^{-d\alpha}$ in the $\mathbb{Z}$-direction and investigate the large $N$-behavior of the disconnection time…
We investigate the disconnection time of a simple random walk in a discrete cylinder with a large finite connected base. In a recent article of A. Dembo and the author it was found that for large $N$ the disconnection time of…
We consider simple random walk on a discrete cylinder with base a large d-dimensional torus of side-length N, when d is two or more. We develop a stochastic domination control on the local picture left by the random walk in boxes of…
We explore some of the connections between the local picture left by the trace of simple random walk on a discrete cylinder with base a d-dimensional torus, d at least 2, of side-length N running for times of order N^{2d} and the model of…
We consider random interlacements on Z^d, with d bigger or equal to 3, when their vacant set is in a strongly percolative regime. We derive an asymptotic upper bound on the probability that the random interlacements disconnect a box of…
We consider the vacant set of random interlacements on Z^d, with d bigger or equal to 3, in the percolative regime. Motivated by the large deviation principles obtained in our recent work arXiv:1304.7477, we investigate the asymptotic…
We consider simple random walk on Z^d, d bigger or equal to 3. Motivated by the work of A.-S. Sznitman and the author in arXiv:1304.7477 and arXiv:1310.2177, we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the probability that a large body gets…
Following the recent work of Sznitman (arXiv:0805.4516), we investigate the microscopic picture induced by a random walk trajectory on a cylinder of the form G_N x Z, where G_N is a large finite connected weighted graph, and relate it to…
This article proves that, in terms of local times, the rescaled and recentered cover times of finite subsets of the discrete cylinder by simple random walk converge in law to the Gumbel distribution, as the cardinality of the set goes to…
We consider the simple random walk conditioned to stay forever in a finite domain $D_N \subset \mathbb{Z}^d, d \geq 3$ of typical size $N$. This confined walk is a random walk on the conductances given by the first eigenvector of the…
We investigate percolation of the vacant set of random interlacements on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 3$, in the strongly percolative regime. We consider the event that the interlacement set at level $u$ disconnects the discrete blow-up of a…
We consider random interlacements on $ \mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \ge 3$, when their vacant set is in a strongly percolative regime. Given a large box centered at the origin, we establish an asymptotic upper bound on the exponential rate of decay of…
We study downward deviations of the maximum local time of the discrete-time simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\ge 3$. In our previous paper \cite{li2026ldmaxlocal}, the corresponding upper bound was established, while the matching…
Let $\{S_n, n\geq1\}$ be a random walk wih independent and identically distributed increments and let $\{g_n,n\geq1\}$ be a sequence of real numbers. Let $T_g$ denote the first time when $S_n$ leaves $(g_n,\infty)$. Assume that the random…
We consider large deviations of the cover time of the discrete torus $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^d$, $d \geq 3$ by simple random walk. We prove a lower bound on the probability that the cover time is smaller than $\gamma\in (0,1)$ times its…
This article investigates the behavior of the continuous-time simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \geq 3$. We derive an asymptotic lower bound on the principal exponential rate of decay for the probability that the average value over a…
Let \alpha ([0,1]^p) denote the intersection local time of p independent d-dimensional Brownian motions running up to the time 1. Under the conditions p(d-2)<d and d\ge 2, we prove lim_{t\to\infty}t^{-1}\log P\bigl{\alpha([0,1]^p)\ge…
The asymptotics of the probability that the self-intersection local time of a random walk on $\Z^d$ exceeds its expectation by a large amount is a fascinating subject because of its relation to some models from Statistical Mechanics, to…
