Limits of determinantal processes near a tacnode

Alexei Borodin, Maurice Duits (2011)

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

We study a Markov process on a system of interlacing particles. At large times the particles fill a domain that depends on a parameter ε > 0. The domain has two cusps, one pointing up and one pointing down. In the limit ε ↓ 0 the cusps touch, thus forming a tacnode. The main result of the paper is a derivation of the local correlation kernel around the tacnode in the transition regime ε ↓ 0. We also prove that the local process interpolates between the Pearcey process and the GUE minor process....

Macroscopic models of collective motion and self-organization

Pierre Degond, Amic Frouvelle, Jian-Guo Liu, Sebastien Motsch, Laurent Navoret (2012/2013)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

In this paper, we review recent developments on the derivation and properties of macroscopic models of collective motion and self-organization. The starting point is a model of self-propelled particles interacting with its neighbors through alignment. We successively derive a mean-field model and its hydrodynamic limit. The resulting macroscopic model is the Self-Organized Hydrodynamics (SOH). We review the available existence results and known properties of the SOH model and discuss it in view...

Microscopic concavity and fluctuation bounds in a class of deposition processes

Márton Balázs, Júlia Komjáthy, Timo Seppäläinen (2012)

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

We prove fluctuation bounds for the particle current in totally asymmetric zero range processes in one dimension with nondecreasing, concave jump rates whose slope decays exponentially. Fluctuations in the characteristic directions have order of magnitude t1/3. This is in agreement with the expectation that these systems lie in the same KPZ universality class as the asymmetric simple exclusion process. The result is via a robust argument formulated for a broad class of deposition-type processes....

On the core property of the cylinder functions class in the construction of interacting particle systems

Anja Voss-Böhme (2011)

Kybernetika

For general interacting particle systems in the sense of Liggett, it is proven that the class of cylinder functions forms a core for the associated Markov generator. It is argued that this result cannot be concluded by straightforwardly generalizing the standard proof technique that is applied when constructing interacting particle systems from their Markov pregenerators.

Particle approximations of Lyapunov exponents connected to Schrödinger operators and Feynman–Kac semigroups

Pierre Del Moral, L. Miclo (2003)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We present an interacting particle system methodology for the numerical solving of the Lyapunov exponent of Feynman–Kac semigroups and for estimating the principal eigenvalue of Schrödinger generators. The continuous or discrete time models studied in this work consists of N interacting particles evolving in an environment with soft obstacles related to a potential function V . These models are related to genetic algorithms and Moran type particle schemes. Their choice is not unique. We will examine...

Quantitative concentration inequalities on sample path space for mean field interaction

François Bolley (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider the approximation of a mean field stochastic process by a large interacting particle system. We derive non-asymptotic large deviation bounds measuring the concentration of the empirical measure of the paths of the particles around the law of the process. The method is based on a coupling argument, strong integrability estimates on the paths in Hölder norm, and a general concentration result for the empirical measure of identically distributed independent paths.

Quenched non-equilibrium central limit theorem for a tagged particle in the exclusion process with bond disorder

M. D. Jara, C. Landim (2008)

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

For a sequence of i.i.d. random variables {ξx: x∈ℤ} bounded above and below by strictly positive finite constants, consider the nearest-neighbor one-dimensional simple exclusion process in which a particle at x (resp. x+1) jumps to x+1 (resp. x) at rate ξx. We examine a quenched non-equilibrium central limit theorem for the position of a tagged particle in the exclusion process with bond disorder {ξx: x∈ℤ}. We prove that the position of the tagged particle converges under diffusive scaling to a...

Scaling of a random walk on a supercritical contact process

F. den Hollander, R. S. dos Santos (2014)

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

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...
