Einstein relation for biased random walk on Galton–Watson trees

Gerard Ben Arous, Yueyun Hu, Stefano Olla, Ofer Zeitouni (2013)

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

We prove the Einstein relation, relating the velocity under a small perturbation to the diffusivity in equilibrium, for certain biased random walks on Galton–Watson trees. This provides the first example where the Einstein relation is proved for motion in random media with arbitrarily slow traps.

Fires on trees

Jean Bertoin (2012)

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

We consider random dynamics on the edges of a uniform Cayley tree with n vertices, in which edges are either flammable, fireproof, or burnt. Every flammable edge is replaced by a fireproof edge at unit rate, while fires start at smaller rate n - α on each flammable edge, then propagate through the neighboring flammable edges and are only stopped at fireproof edges. A vertex is called fireproof when all its adjacent edges are fireproof. We show that as n , the terminal density of fireproof vertices converges...

Fluctuation limit theorems for age-dependent critical binary branching systems

José Alfredo López-Mimbela, Antonio Murillo-Salas (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

We consider an age-dependent branching particle system in ℝd, where the particles are subject to α-stable migration (0 < α ≤ 2), critical binary branching, and general (non-arithmetic) lifetimes distribution. The population starts off from a Poisson random field in ℝd with Lebesgue intensity. We prove functional central limit theorems and strong laws of large numbers under two rescalings: high particle density, and a space-time rescaling...

Genealogy of flows of continuous-state branching processes via flows of partitions and the Eve property

Cyril Labbé (2014)

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

We encode the genealogy of a continuous-state branching process associated with a branching mechanism 𝛹 – or 𝛹 -CSBP in short – using a stochastic flow of partitions. This encoding holds for all branching mechanisms and appears as a very tractable object to deal with asymptotic behaviours and convergences. In particular we study the so-called Eve property – the existence of an ancestor from which the entire population descends asymptotically – and give a necessary and sufficient condition on the 𝛹 -CSBP for...
