We prove that the heat kernel on the infinite Bernoulli percolation cluster in Z^d almost surely decays faster than t^{-d/2}. We also derive estimates on the mixing time for the random walk confined to a finite box. Our approach is based on…

Fix $p>1$, not necessarily integer, with $p(d-2)<d$. We study the $p$-fold self-intersection local time of a simple random walk on the lattice $\Z^d$ up to time $t$. This is the $p$-norm of the vector of the walker's local times, $\ell_t$.…

In dynamical critical site percolation on the triangular lattice or bond percolation on \Z^2, we define and study a local time measure on the exceptional times at which the origin is in an infinite cluster. We show that at a typical time…

We consider percolation on the discrete torus $\mathbb{Z}_n^d$ at $p_c(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, the critical value for percolation on the corresponding infinite lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and within the scaling window around it. We assume that $d$ is a…

Numerical simulations of Diffusion-Limited and Reaction-Limited Cluster-Cluster Aggregation processes of identical particles are performed in a two-dimensional box. It is shown that, for concentrations larger than a characteristic gel…

For $d\ge 3$ we construct a new coupling of the trace left by a random walk on a large $d$-dimensional discrete torus with the random interlacements on $\mathbb Z^d$. This coupling has the advantage of working up to macroscopic subsets of…

The mixing time of a discrete-time quantum walk on the hypercube is considered. The mean probability distribution of a Markov chain on a hypercube is known to mix to a uniform distribution in time O(n log n). We show that the mean…

We study a natural random walk on the $n \times n$ upper triangular matrices, with entries in $\mathbb{Z}/m \mathbb{Z}$, generated by steps which add or subtract a uniformly random row to the row above. We show that the mixing time of this…

Motivated by novel results in the theory of complex adaptive systems, we analyze the dynamics of random walks in which the jumping probabilities are {\it time-dependent}. We determine the survival probability in the presence of an absorbing…

We study versions of the contact process with three states, and with infections occurring at a rate depending on the overall infection density. Motivated by a model described in [17] for vegetation patterns in arid landscapes, we focus on…

In [3] the radius of convergence of the generating function of the collision local time of two independent copies of an irreducible, symmetric and transient random walk on Zd, d \geq 1, was studied. Two versions were considered: z1, the…

Herein, we propose a site random cluster model by introducing an additional cluster weight in the partition function of the traditional site percolation. To simulate the model on a square lattice, we combine the color-assignation and the…

We study the Glauber dynamics for the random cluster (FK) model on the torus $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})^2$ with parameters $(p,q)$, for $q \in (1,4]$ and $p$ the critical point $p_c$. The dynamics is believed to undergo a critical slowdown,…

Define $(X_n)$ on $\mathbf{Z}/q\mathbf{Z}$ by $X_{n+1} = 2X_n + b_n$, where the steps $b_n$ are chosen independently at random from $-1, 0, +1$. The mixing time of this random walk is known to be at most $1.02 \log_2 q$ for almost all odd…

We show that the total variation mixing time of the simple random walk on the giant component of supercritical Erdos-Renyi graphs is log^2 n. This statement was only recently proved, independently, by Fountoulakis and Reed. Our proof…

Consider critical bond percolation on a large 2n by 2n box on the square lattice. It is well-known that the size (i.e. number of vertices) of the largest open cluster is, with high probability, of order n^2 \pi(n), where \pi(n) denotes the…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a supercritical Galton-Watson tree with a bounded offspring distribution that has mean $\mu >1$, conditioned to survive. Let $\varphi_{\mathcal{T}}$ be a random embedding of $\mathcal{T}$ into $\mathbb{Z}^d$ according…

The rigidity transition occurs when, as the density of microscopic components is increased, a disordered medium becomes able to transmit and ensure macroscopic mechanical stability, owing to the appearance of a space-spanning rigid…

We study random walks on the giant component of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph ${\cal G}(n,p)$ where $p=\lambda/n$ for $\lambda>1$ fixed. The mixing time from a worst starting point was shown by Fountoulakis and Reed, and independently…

We prove a ballistic strong law of large numbers and an invariance principle for random walks in strong mixing environments, under condition $(T)$ of Sznitman (cf. \cite{Sz01}). This weakens by first time the Kalikow ballistic assumption in…
