In this article, we consider the following model of self-avoiding walk: the probability of a self-avoiding trajectory $\gamma$ between two points on the boundary of a finite subdomain of ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$ is proportional to ${\mu }^{-\text{length}\left(\gamma \right)}$. When $\mu$ is supercritical (i.e. $\mu lt;{\mu }_c$ where ${\mu }_c$ is the connective constant of the lattice), we show that the random trajectory becomes space-filling when taking the scaling limit.

We prove superdiffusivity with multiplicative logarithmic corrections for a class of models of random walks and diffusions with long memory. The family of models includes the “true” (or “myopic”) self-avoiding random walk, self-repelling Durrett-Rogers polymer model and diffusion in the curl-field of (mollified) massless free Gaussian field in 2D. We adapt methods developed in the context of bulk diffusion of ASEP by Landim-Quastel-Salmhofer-Yau (2004).

We study trajectories of $d$-dimensional Brownian Motion in Poissonian potential up to the hitting time of a distant hyper-plane. Our Poissonian potential $V$ is constructed from a field of traps whose centers location is given by a Poisson Point Process and whose radii are IID distributed with a common distribution that has unbounded support; it has the particularity of having long-range correlation. We focus on the case where the law of the trap radii $\nu$ has power-law decay and prove that superdiffusivity...

This paper continues a study on trajectories of Brownian Motion in a field of soft trap whose radius distribution is unbounded. We show here that for both point-to-point and point-to-plane model the volume exponent (the exponent associated to transversal fluctuation of the trajectories) $\xi$ is strictly less than $1$ and give an explicit upper bound that depends on the parameters of the problem. In some specific cases, this upper bound matches the lower bound proved in the first part of this work and...

By using a supersymmetric gaussian representation, we transform the averaged Green's function for random walks in random potentials into a 2-point correlation function of a corresponding lattice field theory. We study the resulting lattice field theory using the Witten laplacian formulation. We obtain the asymptotics for the directional Lyapunov exponents.

We study an atomistic pair potential-energy E(n)(y) that describes the elastic behavior of two-dimensional crystals with natoms where $y\in {ℝ}^{2\times n}$ characterizes the particle positions. The main focus is the asymptotic analysis of the ground state energy asn tends to infinity. We show in a suitable scaling regime where the energy is essentially quadratic that the energy minimum of E(n) admits an asymptotic expansion involving fractional powers of n: ${\min }_y{E}^{\left(n\right)}\left(y\right)=n{E}_{\mathrm{bulk}}+\sqrt{n}{E}_{\mathrm{surface}}+o\left(\sqrt{n}\right),n\to \infty .$ The bulk energy densityEbulk is given by an explicit expression...

The main objective of this paper is to present a new probabilistic model underlying the universal relaxation laws observed in many fields of science where we associate the survival probability of the system's state with the defect-diffusion framework. Our approach is based on the notion of the continuous-time random walk. To derive the properties of the survival probability of a system we explore the limit theorems concerning either the summation or the extremes: maxima and minima. The forms of...

The Hamiltonian for an extended Hubbard model with phonons as introduced by A. Montorsi and M. Rasetti is considered on a D-dimensional lattice. The symmetries of the model are studied in various cases. It is shown that for a certain choice of the parameters a superconducting $S{U}_q\left(2\right)$ holds as a true quantum symmetry, but only for D=1.

We study some properties of the k-symplectic Hamiltonian systems in analogy with the well-known classical Hamiltonian systems. The integrability of k-symplectic Hamiltonian systems and the relationships with the Nambu's statistical mechanics are given.

Systems with Coulomb and logarithmic interactions arise in various settings: an instance is the classical Coulomb gas which in some cases happens to be a random matrix ensemble, another is vortices in the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity, where one observes in certain regimes the emergence of densely packed point vortices forming perfect triangular lattice patterns named Abrikosov lattices, a third is the study of Fekete points which arise in approximation theory. In this review, we describe...
