The parabolic Airy sheet provides a coupling of parabolic Airy$_2$ processes -- a universal limiting geodesic weight profile in planar last passage percolation models -- and a natural goal is to understand this coupling. Geodesic geometry suggests that the difference of two parabolic Airy$_2$ processes, i.e., a difference profile, encodes important structural information. This difference profile $mathcal{D}$, given by $mathbb{R}tomathbb{R}:xmapsto mathcal{S}(1,x)- mathcal{S}(-1,x)$, was first studied by Basu, Ganguly, and Hammond [arXiv:1904.01717], who showed that it is monotone and almost everywhere constant, with its points of non-constancy forming a set of Hausdorff dimension $1/2$. Noticing that this is also the Hausdorff dimension of the zero set of Brownian motion leads to the question: is there a connection between $mathcal{D}$ and Brownian local time? Establishing that there is indeed a connection, we prove two results. On a global scale, we show that $mathcal{D}$ can be written as a Brownian local time patchwork quilt, i.e., as a concatenation of random restrictions of functions which are each absolutely continuous to Brownian local time (of rate four) away from the origin. On a local scale, we explicitly obtain Brownian local time of rate four as a local limit of $mathcal{D}$ at a point of increase, picked by a number of methods, including at a typical point sampled according to the distribution function $mathcal{D}$. Our arguments rely on the representation of $mathcal{S}$ in terms of a last passage problem through the parabolic Airy line ensemble and an understanding of geodesic geometry at deterministic and random times.","PeriodicalId":42884,"journal":{"name":"Annales de l Institut Henri Poincare D","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84301867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We prove the existence of semi-infinite geodesics for Brownian last-passage percolation (BLPP). Specifically, on a single event of probability one, there exist semi-infinite geodesics started from every space- time point and traveling in every asymptotic direction. Properties of these geodesics include uniqueness for a fixed initial point and direction, non-uniqueness for fixed direction but random initial points, and coalescence of all geodesics traveling in a common, fixed direction. Along the way, we prove that for fixed northeast and southwest directions, there almost surely exist no bi-infinite geodesics in the given directions. The semi-infinite geodesics are constructed from Busemann functions. Our starting point is a result of Alberts, Rassoul-Agha and Simper that established Busemann functions for fixed points and directions. Out of this, we construct the global process of Busemann functions simultaneously for all initial points and directions, and then the family of semi-infinite Busemann geodesics. The uncountable space of the semi-discrete setting requires extra consideration and leads to new phenomena, compared to discrete models.","PeriodicalId":42884,"journal":{"name":"Annales de l Institut Henri Poincare D","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80724942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This correspondence between ergodic theory on $T_d$ and random regular graphs is already proven to be fruitful in both directions. This paper continues the investigation of typical processes with a special emphasis on entropy. We study a natural notion of micro-state entropy for invariant processes on $T_d$. It serves as a quantitative refinement of the notion of typicality and is tightly connected to the asymptotic free energy in statistical physics. Using entropy inequalities, we provide new sufficient conditions for typicality for edge Markov processes. We also extend these notions and results to processes on unimodular Galton-Watson random trees.","PeriodicalId":42884,"journal":{"name":"Annales de l Institut Henri Poincare D","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88165627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to study the first question, we consider a natural coupling of SLE traces: for different values of κ we use the same Brownian motion. It is very natural to assume that with probability one, SLE κ depends continuously on κ . It is rather easy to show that SLE is continuous in the Carath´eodory sense, but showing that SLE traces are continuous in the uniform sense is much harder. In this note we show that for a given sequence κ j → κ ∈ (0 , 8 / 3), for almost every Brownian motion SLE κ traces converge locally uniformly. This result was also recently obtained by Friz, Tran and Yuan using different methods. In our analysis, we provide a constructive way to study the SLE κ traces for varying parameter κ ∈ (0 , 8 / 3). The argument is based on a new dynamical view on the approximation of SLE curves by curves driven by a piecewise square root approximation of the Brownian motion. The second question can be answered naturally in the framework of Rough Path Theory. Using this theory, we prove that the solutions of the backward Loewner Differential Equation driven by √ κB t when started away from the origin are continuous in the p -variation topology in the parameter κ , for all κ ∈ R + .","PeriodicalId":42884,"journal":{"name":"Annales de l Institut Henri Poincare D","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76064898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Probab. 47 (2019) 1–60) extends the classical Itô-Stratonovich formula and provides a closed-form expression for (cid:2) Y ◦ d X − (cid:2) Y d X , i.e. the difference between the rough and Skorohod integrals of Y with respect to X , where X is a Gaussian process with finite p -variation less than 3. In this paper, we extend this result to Gaussian processes with finite p -variation such that 3 ≤ p < 4. The constraint this time is that we restrict ourselves to Volterra Gaussian processes with kernels satisfying a natural condition, which however still allows the result to encompass many standard examples, including fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H > 14 . As an application we recover Itô formulas in the case where the vector fields of the RDE governing Y are commutative. Résumé.
