The concepts of geometric infinite divisibility and stability extend the classical properties of infinite divisibility and stability to geometric convolutions. In this setting, a random variable X is geometrically infinitely divisible if it can be expressed as a random sum of components for each p ∈ (0,1), where is a geometric random variable with mean 1/p, independent of the components. If the components have the same distribution as that of a rescaled X, then X is (strictly) geometric stable....
Let (Xi ) be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, and let N be a geometric random variable independent of (Xi ). Geometric stable distributions are weak limits of (normalized) geometric compounds, SN = X1 + · · · + XN , when the mean of N converges to infinity. By an appropriate representation of the individual summands in SN we obtain series representation of the limiting geometric stable distribution. In addition, we study the asymptotic...
We consider random walk on a discrete torus of side-length , in sufficiently high dimension . We investigate the percolative properties of the vacant set corresponding to the collection of sites which have not been visited by the walk up to time . We show that when is chosen small, as tends to infinity, there is with overwhelming probability a unique connected component in the vacant set which contains segments of length const . Moreover, this connected component occupies a non-degenerate...
We study the trajectory of a simple random walk on a d-regular graph with d ≥ 3 and locally tree-like structure as the number n of vertices grows. Examples of such graphs include random d-regular graphs and large girth expanders. For these graphs, we investigate percolative properties of the set of vertices not visited by the walk until time un, where u > 0 is a fixed positive parameter. We show that this so-called vacant set exhibits a phase transition in u in the following sense: there...
We introduce a new transport distance between probability measures on that is built from a Lévy jump kernel. It is defined via a non-local variant of the Benamou–Brenier formula. We study geometric and topological properties of this distance, in particular we prove existence of geodesics. For translation invariant jump kernels we identify the semigroup generated by the associated non-local operator as the gradient flow of the relative entropy w.r.t. the new distance and show that the entropy is...
We consider a family of random walks killed at the boundary of the Weyl chamber of the dual of Sp(4), which in addition satisfies the following property: for any n ≥ 3, there is in this family a walk associated with a reflection group of order 2n. Moreover, the case n = 4 corresponds to a process which appears naturally by studying quantum random walks on the dual of Sp(4). For all the processes belonging to this family, we find the exact asymptotic of the Green functions along all infinite paths...
