Residence time of symmetric random walkers in a strip with large reflective obstacles

Alessandro Ciallella, Emilio N. M. Cirillo, Julien Sohier

We study the effect of a large obstacle on the so called residence time, i.e., the time that a particle performing a symmetric random walk in a rectangular (2D) domain needs to cro…

Disorder relevance without Harris Criterion: the case of pinning model with -stable environment

Hubert Lacoin, Julien Sohier

We investigate disorder relevance for the pinning of a renewal whose inter-arrival law has tail exponent when the law of the random environment is in the domain of attraction…

Convergence to equilibrium for a directed (1+d)-dimensional polymer

Pietro Caputo, Julien Sohier

We consider a flip dynamics for directed (1+d)-dimensional lattice paths with length L. The model can be interpreted as a higher dimensional version of the simple exclusion process…

Metastability for general dynamics with rare transitions: escape time and critical configurations

Emilio Cirillo, Francesca Nardi, Julien Sohier

Metastability is a physical phenomenon ubiquitous in first order phase transitions. A fruitful mathematical way to approach this phenomenon is the study of rare transitions Markov…

Conditioned, quasi-stationary, restricted measures and escape from metastable states

Roberto Fernandez, Francesco Manzo, Francesca Nardi +2

We study the asymptotic hitting time of a family of Markov processes to a target set when the process starts from a trap defined by very general prope…

Hierarchical pinning model: low disorder relevance in the case

Julien Sohier

We consider a hierarchical pinning model introduced by B.Derrida, V.Hakim and J.Vannimenus which undergoes a localization/delocalization phase transition. This model depends on two…

The scaling limits of the non critical strip wetting model

Julien Sohier

The strip wetting model is defined by giving a (continuous space) one dimensionnal random walk a reward $\gb$ each time it hits the strip (where is a…

A comparison between different cycle decompositions for Metropolis dynamics

Emilio N. M. Cirillo, Francesca R. Nardi, Julien Sohier

In the last decades the problem of metastability has been attacked on rigorous grounds via many different approaches and techniques which are briefly reviewed in this paper. It is…

Levy multiplicative chaos and star scale invariant random measures

Rémi Rhodes, Julien Sohier, Vincent Vargas

In this article, we consider the continuous analog of the celebrated Mandelbrot star equation with infinitely divisible weights. Mandelbrot introduced this equation to characterize…

Scaling limits of a heavy tailed Markov renewal process

Julien Sohier

In this paper we consider heavy tailed Markov renewal processes and we prove that, suitably renormalised, they converge in law towards the $\ga$-stable regenerative set. We then ap…

A functional limit convergence towards brownian excursion

Julien Sohier

We consider a random walk in the domain of attraction of a standard normal law , \textit{ie} there exists a positive sequence such that converges in law towa…

Finite size scaling for homogeneous pinning models

Julien Sohier

Pinning models are built from discrete renewal sequences by rewarding (or penalizing) the trajectories according to their number of renewal epochs up to time , and is then s…
