Large- limit of crossing probabilities, discontinuity, and asymptotic behavior of threshold values in Mandelbrot's fractal percolation process.
Large scale behavior of semiflexible heteropolymers
We consider a general discrete model for heterogeneous semiflexible polymer chains. Both the thermal noise and the inhomogeneous character of the chain (the disorder) are modeled in terms of random rotations. We focus on the quenched regime, i.e., the analysis is performed for a given realization of the disorder. Semiflexible models differ substantially from random walks on short scales, but on large scales a brownian behavior emerges. By exploiting techniques from tensor analysis and non-commutative...

Le equazioni di evoluzione dei continui ferromagnetici
This expository paper is meant to be a faithful account the invited lecture I gave in Naples on September 14, 1999, during the 16th Congress of U.M.I., the Italian Mathematical Union. In Section 2, I consider the Gilbert equation, the parabolic equation that rules the evolution of the magnetization vector in a rigid ferromagnet. Among the issues I here discuss are the relations of the Gilbert equation to the harmonic map equation and its heat flow, the existence of global-in-time weak solutions,...

Limit laws for the energy of a charged polymer
In this paper we obtain the central limit theorems, moderate deviations and the laws of the iterated logarithm for the energy Hn=∑1≤j<k≤nωjωk1{Sj=Sk} of the polymer {S1, …, Sn} equipped with random electrical charges {ω1, …, ωn}. Our approach is based on comparison of the moments between Hn and the self-intersection local time Qn=∑1≤j<k≤n1{Sj=Sk} run by the d-dimensional random walk {Sk}. As partially needed for our main objective and partially motivated by their independent interest,...
Limit shapes of Gibbs distributions on the set of integer partitions : the expansive case
We find limit shapes for a family of multiplicative measures on the set of partitions, induced by exponential generating functions with expansive parameters, ak∼Ckp−1, k→∞, p>0, where C is a positive constant. The measures considered are associated with the generalized Maxwell–Boltzmann models in statistical mechanics, reversible coagulation–fragmentation processes and combinatorial structures, known as assemblies. We prove a central limit theorem for fluctuations of a properly scaled partition...
Limit theorems for randomly coarse grained continuous-time random walks [Book]
Limit theorems for the painting of graphs by clusters
We consider a generalization of the so-called divide and color model recently introduced by Häggström. We investigate the behavior of the magnetization in large boxes of the lattice and its fluctuations. Thus, Laws of Large Numbers and Central Limit Theorems are proved, both quenched and annealed. We show that the properties of the underlying percolation process deeply influence the behavior of the coloring model. In the subcritical case, the limit magnetization is deterministic and the Central...

Limites hydrodynamiques de l'équation de Boltzmann
Limites réversibles et irréversibles de systèmes de particules.
Il s’agit de comparer les différents résultats et théorèmes concernant dans un cadre essentiellement déterministe des systèmes de particules. Cela conduit à étudier la notion de hiérarchies d’équations et à comparer les modèles non linéaires et linéaires. Dans ce dernier cas on met en évidence le rôle de l’aléatoire. Ce texte réfère à une série de travaux en collaboration avec F. Golse, A. Gottlieb, D. Levermore et N. Mauser.
