We consider the random walk on supercritical percolation clusters in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Previous papers have obtained Gaussian heat kernel bounds, and a.s. invariance principles for this process. We show how this information leads to a parabolic Harnack inequality, a local limit…

We show that quaternionic Gaussian random variables satisfy a generalization of the Wick formula for computing the expected value of products in terms of a family of graphical enumeration problems. When applied to the quaternionic Wigner and Wishart families of…

For a much-studied model of random copolymer at a selective interface we prove that the slope of the critical curve in the weak-disorder limit is strictly smaller than 1, which is the value given by the annealed inequality. The proof…

We prove that the Itô map, that is the map that gives the solution of a differential equation controlled by a rough path of finite $p$-variation with $p\in [2,3)$ is locally Lipschitz continuous in all its arguments and we give…

Necessary conditions for the existence of a maximal Markovian coupling of diffusion processes are studied. A sufficient condition described as a global symmetry of the processes is revealed to be necessary for the Brownian motion on a Riemannian homogeneous space.…

We give new exponential inequalities and Gaussian approximation results for sums of weakly dependent variables. These results lead to generalizations of Bernstein and Hoeffding inequalities, where an extra control term is added; this term contains conditional moments of the variables.

In this paper, we give estimates of ideal or minimal distances between the distribution of the normalized partial sum and the limiting Gaussian distribution for stationary martingale differ- ence sequences or stationary sequences satisfying projective criteria. Applications to functions of…

We derive a precise link between series expansions of Gaussian random vectors in a Banach space and Parseval frames in their reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The results are applied to pathwise continuous Gaussian processes and a new optimal expansion for…

We give a new proof of a result of Kenyon that the growth exponent for loop-erased random walks in two dimensions is 5/4. The proof uses the convergence of LERW to Schramm-Loewner evolution with parameter 2, and is valid for…

We modify the usual Erdos-Renyi random graph evolution by letting connected clusters 'burn down' (i.e. fall apart to disconnected single sites) due to a Poisson flow of lightnings. In a range of the intensity of rate of lightnings the system…
