Let $A(t)$ denote the cluster produced by internal diffusion limited aggregation (internal DLA) with $t$ particles in dimension $d \geq 3$.  We show that $A(t)$ is approximately spherical, up to an $O(\sqrt{\log t})$ error.

We show that the genealogy of any self-similar fragmentation process can be encoded in a compact measured real tree. Under some Malthusian hypotheses, we compute the fractal Hausdorff dimension of this tree through the use of a natural measure on…

We extend to the matrix setting a recent result of Srivastava-Vershynin about estimating the covariance matrix of a random vector. The result can be interpreted as a quantified version of the law of large numbers for  positive semi-definite matrices which…

One of the remarkable applications of the cavity method in the mean field spin glasses is to prove the validity of the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP) system of equations in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model in the high temperature regime. This naturally leads…

We consider a Stratonovich heat equation in $(0,1)$ with a nonlinear multiplicative noise driven by a trace-class Wiener process. First, the equation is shown to have a unique mild solution. Secondly, convolutional rough paths techniques are used to provide an…

We consider directed random polymers in $(d+1)$ dimensions with nearly gamma i.i.d. disorder.  We study the partition function $Z_{N,\omega}$ and establish exponential concentration of $\log Z_{N,\omega}$ about its mean on the subgaussian scale $\sqrt{N/\log N}$ . This is used to…

This work deals with a class of one-dimensional measure-valued kinetic equations, which constitute extensions of the Kac caricature. It is known that if the initial datum belongs to the domain of normal attraction of an $\alpha$-stable law, the solution of…

This paper is devoted to the  prediction problem in extreme value theory. Our main result is an explicit expression of the  regular conditional distribution of a max-stable (or max-infinitely divisible) process $\{\eta(t)\}_{t\in T}$ given observations $\{\eta(t_i)=y_i,\ 1\leq i\leq k\}$. Our starting point is the…

We investigate the degree sequences of geometric preferential attachment graphs in general compact metric spaces. We show that, under certain conditions on the attractiveness function, the behaviour of the degree sequence is similar to that of the preferential attachment with…

The TCP window size process appears in the modeling of the famous Transmission Control Protocol used for data transmission over the Internet. This continuous time Markov process takes its values in [0, ∞), is ergodic and irreversible. The sample paths…
