Strong disorder in semidirected random polymers

N. Zygouras (2013)

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

Similarity:

We consider a random walk in a random potential, which models a situation of a random polymer and we study the annealed and quenched costs to perform long crossings from a point to a hyperplane. These costs are measured by the so called Lyapounov norms. We identify situations where the point-to-hyperplane annealed and quenched Lyapounov norms are different. We also prove that in these cases the polymer path exhibits localization.

Superdiffusivity for directed polymer in corelated random environment

Hubert Lacoin (2010)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

Similarity:

The directed polymer in random environment models the behavior of a polymer chain in a solution with impurities. It is a particular case of random walk in random environment. In 1 + 1 dimensional environment is has been shown by Petermann that this random walk is superdiffusive. We show superdiffusivity properties are reinforced were there are long ranged correlation in the environment and that super diffusivity also occurs in higher dimensions.

Cluster continuous time random walks

Agnieszka Jurlewicz, Mark M. Meerschaert, Hans-Peter Scheffler (2011)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

In a continuous time random walk (CTRW), a random waiting time precedes each random jump. The CTRW model is useful in physics, to model diffusing particles. Its scaling limit is a time-changed process, whose densities solve an anomalous diffusion equation. This paper develops limit theory and governing equations for cluster CTRW, in which a random number of jumps cluster together into a single jump. The clustering introduces a dependence between the waiting times and jumps that significantly...

Scaling of a random walk on a supercritical contact process

F. den Hollander, R. S. dos Santos (2014)

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

Similarity:

We prove a strong law of large numbers for a one-dimensional random walk in a dynamic random environment given by a supercritical contact process in equilibrium. The proof uses a coupling argument based on the observation that the random walk eventually gets trapped inside the union of space–time cones contained in the infection clusters generated by single infections. In the case where the local drifts of the random walk are smaller than the speed at which infection clusters grow, the...

The square model for random groups

Tomasz Odrzygóźdź (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We introduce a new random group model called the square model: we quotient a free group on n generators by a random set of relations, each of which is a reduced word of length 4. We prove that, just as in the Gromov model, for densities > 1/2 a random group in the square model is trivial with overwhelming probability and for densities < 1/2 a random group is hyperbolic with overwhelming probability. Moreover, we show that for densities d < 1/3 a random group in the square model...
