We consider an age-dependent branching particle system in ℝd,
where the particles are subject to α-stable migration
(0 < α ≤ 2), critical binary branching, and
general (non-arithmetic) lifetimes distribution. The population starts off from a Poisson
random field in ℝd with Lebesgue intensity. We prove
functional central limit theorems and strong laws of large numbers under two rescalings:
high particle density, and a space-time rescaling...
We present two new models of the dynamics of phytoplankton aggregates. The first one is an individual-based model. Passing to infinity with the number of individuals, we obtain an Eulerian model. This model describes the evolution of the density of the spatial-mass distribution of aggregates. We show the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the evolution equation.
A linear Boltzmann equation is interpreted as the forward equation for the probability density of a Markov process on , where is the two-dimensional torus. Here is an autonomous reversible jump process, with waiting times between two jumps with finite expectation value but infinite variance. is an additive functional of , defined as , where for small . We prove that the rescaled process converges in distribution to a two-dimensional Brownian motion. As a consequence, the appropriately...
In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure
under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow Royer's approach (Royer, 1999) and obtain uniqueness by showing convergence properties of a Glauber-Langevin dynamics. The result was known when the measures on the box [-n,n]d (with free boundary conditions) satisfied the same logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We generalize this in two directions: either the constants may be...
We present several functional inequalities
for finite difference gradients, such as
a Cheeger inequality, Poincaré and (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequalities,
associated deviation estimates,
and an exponential integrability property.
In the particular case of the geometric distribution on
we use an integration by parts formula to compute
the optimal isoperimetric and Poincaré constants,
and to obtain an improvement of our
general logarithmic Sobolev inequality.

We consider a strong Markov process with killing and prove an approximation method for the distribution of the process conditioned not to be killed when it is observed. The method is based on a Fleming−Viot type particle system with rebirths, whose particles evolve as independent copies of the original strong Markov process and jump onto each others instead of being killed. Our only assumption is that the number of rebirths of the Fleming−Viot type system doesn’t explode in finite time almost surely...
We prove several facts concerning Lipschitz percolation, including the following. The critical probability pL for the existence of an open Lipschitz surface in site percolation on ℤd with d ≥ 2 satisfies the improved bound pL ≤ 1 − 1/[8(d − 1)]. Whenever p > pL, the height of the lowest Lipschitz surface above the origin has an exponentially decaying tail. For p sufficiently close to 1, the connected regions of ℤd−1 above which the surface has height 2 or more exhibit stretched-exponential...
We consider random walk on a discrete torus of side-length , in sufficiently high dimension . We investigate the percolative properties of the vacant set corresponding to the collection of sites which have not been visited by the walk up to time . We show that when is chosen small, as tends to infinity, there is with overwhelming probability a unique connected component in the vacant set which contains segments of length const . Moreover, this connected
component occupies a non-degenerate...
