Edge-reinforced random walk, vertex-reinforced jump process and the supersymmetric hyperbolic sigma model

Christophe Sabot, Pierre Tarrès (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Edge-reinforced random walk (ERRW), introduced by Coppersmith and Diaconis in 1986 [8], is a random process which takes values in the vertex set of a graph G and is more likely to cross edges it has visited before. We show that it can be represented in terms of a vertex-reinforced jump process (VRJP) with independent gamma conductances; the VRJP was conceived by Werner and first studied by Davis and Volkov [10, 11], and is a continuous-time process favouring sites with more local time. We calculate,...

Equilibrium states for the Landau-Fermi-Dirac equation

Véronique Bagland, Mohammed Lemou (2004)

Banach Center Publications

A kinetic collision operator of Landau type for Fermi-Dirac particles is considered. Equilibrium states are rigorously determined under minimal assumptions on the distribution function of the particles. The particular structure of the considered operator (strong non-linearity and degeneracy) requires a special investigation compared to the classical Boltzmann or Landau operator.

Ergodic behaviour of “signed voter models”

G. Maillard, T. S. Mountford (2013)

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

We answer some questions raised by Gantert, Löwe and Steif (Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré Probab. Stat.41(2005) 767–780) concerning “signed” voter models on locally finite graphs. These are voter model like processes with the difference that the edges are considered to be either positive or negative. If an edge between a site x and a site y is negative (respectively positive) the site y will contribute towards the flip rate of x if and only if the two current spin values are equal (respectively opposed)....

Euler hydrodynamics for attractive particle systems in random environment

C. Bahadoran, H. Guiol, K. Ravishankar, E. Saada (2014)

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

We prove quenched hydrodynamic limit under hyperbolic time scaling for bounded attractive particle systems on in random ergodic environment. Our result is a strong law of large numbers, that we illustrate with various examples.
