Ballistic deposition on a planar strip.
Random-cluster measures on infinite regular trees are studied in conjunction with a general type of ‘boundary condition’, namely an equivalence relation on the set of infinite paths of the tree. The uniqueness and non-uniqueness of random-cluster measures are explored for certain classes of equivalence relations. In proving uniqueness, the following problem concerning branching processes is encountered and answered. Consider bond percolation on the family-tree of a branching process. What is the...
The brownian motion model introduced by Dyson [7] for the eigenvalues of unitary random matrices is interpreted as a system of interacting brownian particles on the circle with electrostatic inter-particles repulsion. The aim of this paper is to define the finite particle system in a general setting including collisions between particles. Then, we study the behaviour of this system when the number of particles goes to infinity (through the empirical measure process). We prove that a limiting...
The Brownian motion model introduced by Dyson [7] for the eigenvalues of unitary random matrices N x N is interpreted as a system of N interacting Brownian particles on the circle with electrostatic inter-particles repulsion. The aim of this paper is to define the finite particle system in a general setting including collisions between particles. Then, we study the behaviour of this system when the number of particles N goes to infinity (through the empirical measure process). We prove...
