Branching processes, and random-cluster measures on trees

Geoffrey Grimmett, Svante Janson (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Random-cluster measures on infinite regular trees are studied in conjunction with a general type of ‘boundary condition’, namely an equivalence relation on the set of infinite paths of the tree. The uniqueness and non-uniqueness of random-cluster measures are explored for certain classes of equivalence relations. In proving uniqueness, the following problem concerning branching processes is encountered and answered. Consider bond percolation on the family-tree T of a branching process. What is the...

Brownian particles with electrostatic repulsion on the circle : Dyson’s model for unitary random matrices revisited

Emmanuel Cépa, Dominique Lépingle (2001)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

The brownian motion model introduced by Dyson [7] for the eigenvalues of unitary random matrices N × N is interpreted as a system of N interacting brownian particles on the circle with electrostatic inter-particles repulsion. The aim of this paper is to define the finite particle system in a general setting including collisions between particles. Then, we study the behaviour of this system when the number of particles N goes to infinity (through the empirical measure process). We prove that a limiting...

Capacity bounds for the CDMA system and a neural network: a moderate deviations approach

Matthias Löwe, Franck Vermet (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We study two systems that are based on sums of weakly dependent Bernoulli random variables that take values ± 1 with equal probabilities. We show that already one step of the so-called soft decision parallel interference cancellation, used in the third generation of mobile telecommunication CDMA, is able to considerably increase the number of users such a system can host. We also consider a variant of the well-known Hopfield model of neural networks. We show that this variant proposed by Amari...

Cavity method in the spherical SK model

Dmitry Panchenko (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We develop a cavity method for the spherical Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model at high temperature and small external field. As one application we compute the limit of the covariance matrix for fluctuations of the overlap and magnetization.

Characterization of equilibrium measures for critical reversible Nearest Particle Systems

Thomas Mountford, Li Wu (2008)

Open Mathematics

We show that for critical reversible attractive Nearest Particle Systems all equilibrium measures are convex combinations of the upper invariant equilibrium measure and the point mass at all zeros, provided the underlying renewal sequence possesses moments of order strictly greater than 7 + 41 2 and obeys some natural regularity conditions.

Clusters in middle-phase percolation on hyperbolic plane

Jan Czajkowski (2011)

Banach Center Publications

I consider p-Bernoulli bond percolation on transitive, nonamenable, planar graphs with one end and on their duals. It is known from [BS01] that in such a graph G we have three essential phases of percolation, i.e. 0 < p c ( G ) < p u ( G ) < 1 , where p c is the critical probability and p u -the unification probability. I prove that in the middle phase a.s. all the ends of all the infinite clusters have one-point boundaries in ∂ℍ². This result is similar to some results in [Lal].
