Very sharp distance and range transitions for random walk bridges on Ramanujan graphs

Itai Benjamini

For vertex-transitive Ramanujan graphs with logarithmic girth, a simple random walk bridge of length of order , where is the size of the graph, has a maximum distance t…

The Conclave Process

Itai Benjamini, Zhenhao Cai, Guanyi Chen +2

We introduce a stochastic model for the papal conclave in which cardinals vote repeatedly among themselves until one cardinal receives all the votes. In each round, the probabi…

The Uniform Gromov Hausdorff Gap Problem for Approximating Spheres by Finite Homogeneous Spaces

Itai Benjamini

Let be the unit round sphere with its intrinsic angular metric, normalized so that . For finite homogeneous metric spaces , put \[ δ_n=\inf_X d_{…

Euclidean vs Graph Metric: The Fixed-Source Problem

Itai Benjamini

We prove that two fixed sources in the Euclidean plane can be realized by a bounded-degree planar unit-edge graph on a 10-net, with graph distance from each source agreeing with Eu…

The Pile Process on a Cycle

Itai Benjamini, Eric Shellef

Consider a finite particle system in which, at each step, one particle from a vertex with a lower neighboring vertex moves to a neighboring vertex of minimum height. For the cycle…
