Scaling limit and cube-root fluctuations in SOS surfaces above a wall
Consider the classical -dimensional Solid-On-Solid model above a hard wall on an box of . The model describes a crystal surface by assigning a non-negative integer height to each site in the box and 0 heights to its boundary. The probability of a surface configuration is proportional to , where is the inverse-temperature and sums the absolute values of height differences between neighboring sites. We give a full description of the shape of the SOS surface for low enough temperatures....
Scaling of a random walk on a supercritical contact process
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 random walk...

Self-avoiding walks on the lattice ℤ² with the 8-neighbourhood system
This paper deals with the properties of self-avoiding walks defined on the lattice with the 8-neighbourhood system. We compute the number of walks, bridges and mean-square displacement for N=1 through 13 (N is the number of steps of the self-avoiding walk). We also estimate the connective constant and critical exponents, and study finite memory and generating functions. We show applications of this kind of walk. In addition, we compute upper bounds for the number of walks and the connective constant....
Self-repelling random walk with directed edges on Z.
Strong disorder in semidirected random polymers
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.
Supersymmetry, Witten complex and asymptotics for directional Lyapunov exponents in
By using a supersymmetric gaussian representation, we transform the averaged Green's function for random walks in random potentials into a 2-point correlation function of a corresponding lattice field theory. We study the resulting lattice field theory using the Witten laplacian formulation. We obtain the asymptotics for the directional Lyapunov exponents.

The Arcsine law as the limit of the internal DLA cluster generated by Sinai’s walk
We identify the limit of the internal DLA cluster generated by Sinai’s walk as the law of a functional of a brownian motion which turns out to be a new interpretation of the Arcsine law.
The discrete-time parabolic Anderson model with heavy-tailed potential
We consider a discrete-time version of the parabolic Anderson model. This may be described as a model for a directed -dimensional polymer interacting with a random potential, which is constant in the deterministic direction and i.i.d. in the orthogonal directions. The potential at each site is a positive random variable with a polynomial tail at infinity. We show that, as the size of the system diverges, the polymer extremity is localized almost surely at one single point which grows ballistically....
The Markovian hyperbolic triangulation
We construct and study the unique random tiling of the hyperbolic plane into ideal hyperbolic triangles (with the three corners located on the boundary) that is invariant (in law) with respect to Möbius transformations, and possesses a natural spatial Markov property that can be roughly described as the conditional independence of the two parts of the triangulation on the two sides of the edge of one of its triangles.
Universality for conformally invariant intersection exponents
We construct a class of conformally invariant measures on sets (or paths) and we study the critical exponents called intersection exponents associated to these measures. We show that these exponents exist and that they correspond to intersection exponents between planar Brownian motions. More precisely, using the definitions and results of our paper [27], we show that any set defined under such a conformal invariant measure behaves exactly as a pack (containing maybe a non-integer number) of Brownian...
