How round are the complementary components of planar Brownian motion?

Nina Holden, Serban Nacu, Yuval Peres +1

Consider a Brownian motion in started from and run for time 1. Let denote the bounded connected components of . Let (re…

Random soups, carpets and fractal dimensions

Serban Nacu, Wendelin Werner

We study some properties of a class of random connected planar fractal sets induced by a Poissonian scale-invariant and translation-invariant point process. Using the second-moment…

Channel Uncertainty in Ultra Wideband Communication Systems

Dana Porrat, David N. C. Tse, Serban Nacu

Wide band systems operating over multipath channels may spread their power over bandwidth if they use duty cycle. Channel uncertainty limits the achievable data rates of power cons…

Fast simulation of new coins from old

Serban Nacu, Yuval Peres

Let S\subset (0,1). Given a known function f:S\to (0,1), we consider the problem of using independent tosses of a coin with probability of heads p (where p\in S is unknown) to simu…

Glauber Dynamics On The Cycle Is Monotone

Serban Nacu

We study heat-bath Glauber dynamics for the ferromagnetic Ising model on a finite cycle (a graph where every vertex has degree two). We prove that the relaxation time is an i…
