Comportement asymptotique d'un système infini de particules additif sur Z
The model of random interlacements on ℤd, d≥3, was recently introduced in [Vacant set of random interlacements and percolation. Available at http://www.math.ethz.ch/u/sznitman/preprints]. A non-negative parameter u parametrizes the density of random interlacements on ℤd. In the present note we investigate connectivity properties of the vacant set left by random interlacements at level u, in the non-percolative regime u>u∗, with u∗ the non-degenerate critical parameter for the percolation...
In this article it is shown that the brownian motion on the continuum random tree is the scaling limit of the simple random walks on any family of discrete n-vertex ordered graph trees whose search-depth functions converge to the brownian excursion as n→∞. We prove both a quenched version (for typical realisations of the trees) and an annealed version (averaged over all realisations of the trees) of our main result. The assumptions of the article cover the important example of simple random walks...
We introduce a system of one-dimensional coalescing nonsimple random walks with long range jumps allowing paths that can cross each other and are dependent even before coalescence. We show that under diffusive scaling this system converges in distribution to the Brownian Web.
We develop a method, based on a Bochner-type identity, to obtain estimates on the exponential rate of decay of the relative entropy from equilibrium of Markov processes in discrete settings. When this method applies the relative entropy decays in a convex way. The method is shown to be rather powerful when applied to a class of birth and death processes. We then consider other examples, including inhomogeneous zero-range processes and Bernoulli–Laplace models. For these two models, known results...
We consider a simple random walk of length N, denoted by (Si)i∈{1, …, N}, and we define (wi)i≥1 a sequence of centered i.i.d. random variables. For K∈ℕ we define ((γi−K, …, γiK))i≥1 an i.i.d sequence of random vectors. We set β∈ℝ, λ≥0 and h≥0, and transform the measure on the set of random walk trajectories with the hamiltonian λ∑i=1N(wi+h)sign(Si)+β∑j=−KK∑i=1Nγij1{Si=j}. This transformed path measure describes an hydrophobic(philic) copolymer interacting with a layer of width 2K around an interface...
Attractiveness is a fundamental tool to study interacting particle systems and the basic coupling construction is a usual route to prove this property, as for instance in simple exclusion. The derived markovian coupled process (ξt, ζt)t≥0 satisfies: (A) if ξ0≤ζ0 (coordinate-wise), then for all t≥0, ξt≤ζt a.s. In this paper, we consider generalized misanthrope models which are conservative particle systems on ℤd such that, in each transition, k particles may jump from a site x to another site y,...
