By a standard application of Kingman sub-additive theorem, one easily shows that T (0, x) behaves like $mu$ x when x goes to infinity, where $mu$ is a constant named the time constant in classical first passage percolation.

Here, we say that a space-time set $A$ is recurrent if it is visited infinitely often almost surely on the event that the branching random walk survives forever, and say that $A$ is transient if it is visited at most finitely often almost surely. We prove that if $mu$ and $nu$ are supercritical offspring distributions with means $bar mu < bar nu$ then every space-time set that is recurrent with respect to the offspring distribution $mu$ is also recurrent with respect to the offspring distribution $nu$ and similarly that every space-time set that is transient with respect to the offspring distribution $nu$ is also transient with respect to the offspring distribution $mu$. To prove this, we introduce a new order on probability measures that we call the germ order and prove more generally that the same result holds whenever $mu$ is smaller than $nu$ in the germ order. Our work is inspired by the work of Johnson and Junge (AIHP 2018), who used related stochastic orders to study the frog model.","PeriodicalId":42884,"journal":{"name":"Annales de l Institut Henri Poincare D","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73351567","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}

Let each of the particles have an energy $x_j geq 0$, with $sum_{j=1}^n x_j = E$. For some $epsilon$, the allowed configurations $(x_1,dots,x_n)$ are those that satisfy $|x_i - x_j| geq epsilon$ for all $ineq j$. At each step of the process, a pair $(i,j)$ of particles is selected uniformly at random, and then they \"collide\", and there is a repartition of their total energy $x_i + x_j$ between them producing new energies $x^*_i$ and $x^*_j$ with $x^*_i + x^*_j = x_i + x_j$, but with the restriction that exclusion rule is still observed for the new pair of energies. This process bears some resemblance to Kac models for Fermions in which the exclusion represents the effects of the Pauli exclusion principle. However, the \"non-quantized\" exclusion rule here, with only a lower bound on the gaps, introduces interesting novel features, and a strong notion of Kac's chaos is required to derive an evolution equation for the evolution of rescaled empirical measures for the process, as we show here.","PeriodicalId":42884,"journal":{"name":"Annales de l Institut Henri Poincare D","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77677825","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}

Let $Gamma_{mn}$ denote the graph obtained by pasting $m$ rows and $n$ columns of copies of $Gamma$, which embeds in $K$ for $n$ odd and in the torus $mathbb{T}^2$ for $n$ even. We compute the dimer partition function $Z_{mn}$ of $Gamma_{mn}$ for $n$ odd, in terms of the well-known characteristic polynomial $P$ of $Gamma_{12}subsetmathbb{T}^2$ together with a new characteristic polynomial $R$ of $Gammasubset K$. Using this result together with work of Kenyon, Sun and Wilson [arXiv:1310.2603], we show that in the bipartite case, this partition function has the asymptotic expansion $log Z_{mn}=mn f_0/2 +mathrm{fsc}+o(1)$, where $f_0$ is the bulk free energy for $Gamma_{12}subsetmathbb{T}^2$ and $mathrm{fsc}$ an explicit finite-size correction term. The remarkable feature of this later term is its universality: it does not depend on the graph $Gamma$, but only on the zeros of $P$ on the unit torus and on an explicit (purely imaginary) shape parameter. A similar expansion is also obtained in the non-bipartite case, assuming a conjectural condition on the zeros of $P$. We then show that this asymptotic expansion holds for the Ising partition function as well, with $mathrm{fsc}$ taking a particularly simple form: it vanishes in the subcritical regime, is equal to $log(2)$ in the supercritical regime, and to an explicit function of the shape parameter at criticality. These results are in full agreement with the conformal field theory predictions of Blote, Cardy and Nightingale.","PeriodicalId":42884,"journal":{"name":"Annales de l Institut Henri Poincare D","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81413791","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}

The motion is a continuous-time, constant-speed interpolation of the simple symmetric random walk on the marked points. In this paper we study the large fluctuations of the continuous-time process and the resulting transport properties of the model, both annealed and quenched, confirming and extending previous work by physicists that pertain to the annealed framework. Specifically, focusing on the particle displacement, and under the assumption that the tail distribution of the interdistances between scatterers is regularly varying at infinity, we prove a uniform large deviation principle for the annealed fluctuations and present the asymptotics of annealed moments, demonstrating annealed superdiffusion. Then, we provide an upper large deviation estimate for the quenched fluctuations and the asymptotics of quenched moments, showing that, unexpectedly, the asymptotically stable diffusive regime conditional on a typical arrangement of the scatterers is normal diffusion. Although the Levy-Lorentz gas seems to be accepted as a model for anomalous diffusion, our findings lead to the conclusion that superdiffusion is a metastable behavior, which develops into normal diffusion on long timescales.","PeriodicalId":42884,"journal":{"name":"Annales de l Institut Henri Poincare D","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87658293","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}
