                 solution of the inviscid Burgers equation under a
                 scaling of lattice space and time. The stick process is
                 also an alternative view of Hammersley's particle
                 system that Aldous and Diaconis used to give a new
                 solution to Ulam's problem. Along the way to the
                 scaling limit we produce another independent solution
                 to this question. The heart of the proof is that
                 individual paths of the stochastic process evolve under
                 a semigroup action which under the scaling turns into
                 the corresponding action for the Burgers equation,
                 known as the Lax formula. In a separate appendix we use
                 the Lax formula to give an existence and uniqueness
                 proof for scalar conservation laws with initial data
                 given by a Radon measure.",

  abstract =     "A countable system of linearly interacting diffusions
                 on the interval [0, 1], indexed by a hierarchical group
                 is investigated. A particular choice of the
                 interactions guarantees that we are in the diffusive
                 clustering regime, that is spatial clusters of
                 components with values all close to 0 or all close to 1
                 grow in various different scales. We studied this
                 phenomenon in [FG94]. In the present paper we analyze
                 the evolution of single components and of clusters over
                 time. First we focus on the time picture of a single
                 component and find that components close to 0 or close
                 to 1 at a late time have had this property for a large
                 time of random order of magnitude, which nevertheless
                 is small compared with the age of the system. The
                 asymptotic distribution of the suitably scaled duration
                 a component was close to a boundary point is
                 calculated. Second we study the history of spatial 0-
                 or 1-clusters by means of time scaled block averages
                 and time-space-thinning procedures. The scaled age of a
                 cluster is again of a random order of magnitude. Third,
                 we construct a transformed Fisher--Wright tree, which
                 (in the long-time limit) describes the structure of the
                 space-time process associated with our system. All
                 described phenomena are independent of the diffusion
                 coefficient and occur for a large class of initial
                 configurations (universality).",

                 are labelled by a hierarchical group. The longterm
                 behaviour of this system is analysed by considering
                 space-time renormalised systems in a combination of
                 slow and fast time scales and in the limit as an
                 interaction parameter goes to infinity. This leads to a
                 new perspective on the large scale behaviour (in space
                 and time) of critical branching systems in both the
                 persistent and non-persistent cases and including that
                 of the associated historical process. Furthermore we
                 obtain an example for a rigorous renormalization
                 analysis.",

                 l^2$-valued Markov process representing coalescence of
                 clusters of mass, where each pair of clusters merges at
                 rate proportional to product of masses. From random
                 graph asymptotics it is known (Aldous (1997)) that
                 there exists a {\em standard} version of this process
                 starting with infinitesimally small clusters at time $
                 - \infty $. In this paper, stochastic calculus
                 techniques are used to describe all versions $ (X(t); -
                 \infty < t < \infty)$ of the multiplicative coalescent.
                 Roughly, an extreme version is specified by translation
                 and scale parameters, and a vector $ c \in l^3$ of
                 relative sizes of large clusters at time $ - \infty $.
                 Such a version may be characterized in three ways: via

                 of the marginal distribution $ X(t)$ in terms of

                 \Phi_t$ a stochastic flow of differomorphisms on $ R^3$
                 and $ x \in M$, set $ x_t = \Phi_t (x)$ and $ M_t =
                 \Phi_t (M)$. In this paper we will assume $ \Phi_t$ is
                 an isotropic (to be defined below) measure preserving
                 flow and give an explicit description by SDE's of the
                 evolution of the Gauss and mean curvatures, of $ M_t$
                 at $ x_t$. If $ \lambda_1 (t)$ and $ \lambda_2 (t)$ are
                 the principal curvatures of $ M_t$ at $ x_t$ then the
                 vector of mean curvature and Gauss curvature, $
                 (\lambda_1 (t) + \lambda_2 (t)$, $ \lambda_1 (t)
                 \lambda_2 (t))$, is a recurrent diffusion. Neither
                 curvature by itself is a diffusion. In a separate
                 addendum we treat the case of $M$ an embedded
                 codimension one submanifold of $ R^n$. In this case,
                 there are $ n - 1$ principal curvatures $ \lambda_1
                 (t), \ldots {}, \lambda_{n - 1} (t)$. If $ P_k, k = 1,
                 \dots, n - 1$ are the elementary symmetric polynomials
                 in $ \lambda_1, \ldots {}, \lambda_{n - 1}$, then the

                 {}, \lambda_{n - 1} (t))$ is a diffusion and we compute
                 the generator explicitly. Again no projection of this
                 diffusion onto lower dimensions is a diffusion. Our
                 geometric study of isotropic stochastic flows is a
                 natural offshoot of earlier works by Baxendale and

  abstract =     "We consider a hypersurface of dimension $d$ imbedded
                 in a $ d + 1$ dimensional space. For each $ x \in Z^d$,
                 let $ \eta_t(x) \in R$ be the height of the surface at
                 site $x$ at time $t$. At rate $1$ the $x$-th height is
                 updated to a random convex combination of the heights
                 of the `neighbors' of $x$. The distribution of the
                 convex combination is translation invariant and does
                 not depend on the heights. This motion, named the
                 random average process (RAP), is one of the linear
                 processes introduced by Liggett (1985). Special cases
                 of RAP are a type of smoothing process (when the convex
                 combination is deterministic) and the voter model (when
                 the convex combination concentrates on one site chosen
                 at random). We start the heights located on a
                 hyperplane passing through the origin but different
                 from the trivial one $ \eta (x) \equiv 0$. We show
                 that, when the convex combination is neither
                 deterministic nor concentrating on one site, the
                 variance of the height at the origin at time $t$ is
                 proportional to the number of returns to the origin of
                 a symmetric random walk of dimension $d$. Under mild
                 conditions on the distribution of the random convex
                 combination, this gives variance of the order of $ t^{1
                 / 2}$ in dimension $ d = 1$, $ \log t$ in dimension $ d
                 = 2$ and bounded in $t$ in dimensions $ d \ge 3$. We
                 also show that for each initial hyperplane the process
                 as seen from the height at the origin converges to an
                 invariant measure on the hyper surfaces conserving the
                 initial asymptotic slope. The height at the origin
                 satisfies a central limit theorem. To obtain the
                 results we use a corresponding probabilistic cellular
                 automaton for which similar results are derived. This
                 automaton corresponds to the product of (infinitely

                 abstract tube in order to obtain improved
                 inclusion-exclusion identities and inequalities that
                 involve much fewer terms than their classical
                 counterparts. In this paper, we introduce a particular
                 class of abstract tubes which plays an important role
                 with respect to chromatic polynomials and network
                 reliability. The inclusion-exclusion identities and
                 inequalities associated with this class simultaneously
                 generalize several well-known results such as Whitney's
                 broken circuit theorem, Shier's expression for the
                 reliability of a network as an alternating sum over
                 chains in a semilattice and Narushima's
                 inclusion-exclusion identity for posets. Moreover, we
                 show that under some restrictive assumptions a
                 polynomial time inclusion-exclusion algorithm can be
                 devised, which generalizes an important result of

                 paths. We particularly point out the difference in the
                 small scale behaviour of the intersection local times
                 in three-dimensional space and in the plane by studying
                 almost sure limit theorems motivated by the notion of
                 average densities introduced by Bedford and Fisher. We
                 show that in 3-space the intersection local time
                 measure of two paths has an average density of order
                 two with respect to the gauge function $ \varphi (r) =
                 r $, but in the plane, for the intersection local time
                 measure of p Brownian paths, the average density of

                 is to replace a discrete time coordinate by a
                 continuous randomized time, defined by an independent
                 Poisson or other process. Once the analysis is complete
                 on this Poissonized process, translating the results
                 back to the original setting may be nontrivial. It is
                 shown here that, under fairly general conditions, if
                 the process $ S_n $ and the time change $ \phi_n $ both
                 converge, when normalized by the same constant, to
                 limit processes combined process $ S_n(\phi_n(t)) $
                 converges, when properly normalized, to a sum of the
                 limit of the original process, and the limit of the
                 time change multiplied by the derivative of $ E S_n $.
                 It is also shown that earlier results on the fine

                 F}(\lambda) $ is $ 1 - \lambda^2 $ a.s. We prove that

                 \sqrt { 2h| \log h|}$; such uniform approximation is

                 the possible merger rates in terms of a single measure,
                 show how these coalescents can be constructed from a

                 these processes. This work generalizes some work of
                 Pitman, who provides similar analysis for a family of
                 coalescent processes in which many clusters can
                 coalesce into a single cluster, but almost surely no
                 two such mergers occur simultaneously.",

  abstract =     "This paper concentrates on a particular first-order
                 coupled PDE system. It provides both a detailed
                 treatment of the {\em existence\/} and {\em
                 uniqueness\/} of monotone travelling waves to various
                 equilibria, by differential-equation theory and by
                 probability theory and a treatment of the corresponding
                 hyperbolic initial-value problem, by analytic methods.
                 The initial-value problem is studied using
                 characteristics to show existence and uniqueness of a
                 bounded solution for bounded initial data (subject to
                 certain smoothness conditions). The concept of {\em
                 weak\/} solutions to partial differential equations is
                 used to rigorously examine bounded initial data with
                 jump discontinuities. For the travelling wave problem
                 the differential-equation treatment makes use of a
                 shooting argument and explicit calculations of the
                 eigenvectors of stability matrices. The probabilistic
                 treatment is careful in its proofs of {\em
                 martingale\/} (as opposed to merely local-martingale)
                 properties. A modern {\em change-of-measure
                 technique\/} is used to obtain the best lower bound on
                 the speed of the monotone travelling wave --- with
                 Heaviside initial conditions the solution converges to
                 an approximate travelling wave of that speed (the
                 solution tends to one ahead of the wave-front and to
                 zero behind it). Waves to different equilibria are
                 shown to be related by Doob $h$-transforms. {\em
                 Large-deviation theory\/} provides heuristic links
                 between alternative descriptions of minimum wave
                 speeds, rigorous algebraic proofs of which are

                 claims in incomplete markets has led to the development
                 of various valuation methodologies. This paper examines
                 the mean-variance approach to risk-minimisation and
                 shows that it is robust under the convergence from
                 discrete- to continuous-time market models. This
                 property yields new convergence results for option
                 prices, trading strategies and value processes in
                 incomplete market models. Techniques from nonstandard
                 analysis are used to develop new results for the
                 lifting property of the minimal martingale density and
                 risk-minimising strategies. These are applied to a
                 number of incomplete market models:\par

                 It is shown that the convergence of the underlying
                 models implies the convergence of strategies and value
                 processes for multinomial models and approximations of
                 the Black--Scholes model by direct discretisation of
                 the price process. The concept of $ D^2$-convergence is
                 extended to these classes of models, including the
                 construction of discretisation schemes. This yields new
                 standard convergence results for these models.\par

  abstract =     "Let $ {\mathbb {Z}}^2_{cp} $ be the close-packed graph
                 of $ \mathbb {Z}^2 $, that is, the graph obtained by
                 adding to each face of $ \mathbb {Z}^2 $ its diagonal
                 edges. We consider site percolation on $ \mathbb
                 {Z}^2_{cp} $, namely, for each $v$ we choose $ X(v) =
                 1$ or 0 with probability $p$ or $ 1 - p$, respectively,
                 independently for all vertices $v$ of $ \mathbb
                 {Z}^2_{cp}$. We say that a word $ (\xi_1, \xi_2, \dots)
                 \in \{ 0, 1 \}^{\mathbb {N}}$ is seen in the
                 percolation configuration if there exists a
                 selfavoiding path $ (v_1, v_2, \dots)$ on $ \mathbb
                 {Z}^2_{cp}$ with $ X(v_i) = \xi_i, i \ge 1$. $
                 p_c(\mathbb {Z}^2, \text {site})$ denotes the critical
                 probability for site-percolation on $ \mathbb {Z}^2$.
                 We prove that for each fixed $ p \in \big (1 -
                 p_c(\mathbb {Z}^2, \text {site}), p_c(\mathbb {Z}^2,
                 \text {site}) \big)$, with probability 1 all words are
                 seen. We also show that for some constants $ C_i > 0$
                 there is a probability of at least $ C_1$ that all
                 words of length $ C_0 n^2$ are seen along a path which
                 starts at a neighbor of the origin and is contained in

                 It is shown that if one restricts attention to
                 biregular planar graphs then these two problems can be
                 treated in a similar way and all the above questions
                 are positively answered. We also give examples to show
                 that if one drops the assumption of transitivity, then
                 the answer to the above two questions is no.
                 Furthermore it is shown that for any bounded-degree
                 bipartite graph $G$ with $ p_c(G) < 1$ one has $ p_c(G)
                 < p_d(G)$. Problem (2) arises naturally from [6] where
                 an example is given of a coupling of the distinct plus-
                 and minus measures for the Ising model on a
                 quasi-transitive graph at super-critical inverse
                 temperature. We give an example of such a coupling on
                 the $r$-regular tree, $ {\bf T}_r$, for $ r > 1$.",

  abstract =     "For nonlinear functions $f$ of a random vector $Y$, $
                 E[f(Y)]$ and $ f(E[Y])$ usually differ. Consequently
                 the mathematical expectation of $Y$ is not intrinsic:
                 when we change coordinate systems, it is not invariant.
                 This article is about a fundamental and hitherto
                 neglected property of random vectors of the form $ Y =
                 f(X(t))$, where $ X(t)$ is the value at time $t$ of a
                 diffusion process $X$: namely that there exists a
                 measure of location, called the ``intrinsic location
                 parameter'' (ILP), which coincides with mathematical
                 expectation only in special cases, and which is
                 invariant under change of coordinate systems. The
                 construction uses martingales with respect to the
                 intrinsic geometry of diffusion processes, and the heat
                 flow of harmonic mappings. We compute formulas which
                 could be useful to statisticians, engineers, and others
                 who use diffusion process models; these have immediate
                 application, discussed in a separate article, to the
                 construction of an intrinsic nonlinear analog to the
                 Kalman Filter. We present here a numerical simulation
                 of a nonlinear SDE, showing how well the ILP formula

                 exchangeable increments, provided the required moments
                 exist. For the subclass of random walks which can only
                 exit the Weyl chamber $ W = \{ x \colon x_1 < x_2 <
                 \cdots < x_k \} $ onto a point where $h$ vanishes, we
                 define the corresponding Doob $h$-transform. For
                 certain special cases, we show that the marginal
                 distribution of the conditioned process at a fixed time
                 is given by a familiar discrete orthogonal polynomial

                 walks on the circle, and relate a system of

                 processes on the lattice $ Z^d $. These are on the one
                 hand side a particle system, called branching random
                 walk, and on the other hand its continuous mass
                 analogue, a system of interacting diffusions also
                 called super random walk. It is known that the
                 long-term behavior differs sharply in low and high
                 dimensions: if $ d \leq 2 $ one gets local extinction,
                 while, for $ d \geq 3 $, the systems tend to a
                 non-trivial equilibrium. Due to Kallenberg's criterion,
                 local extinction goes along with clumping around a
                 'typical surviving particle.' This phenomenon is called
                 clustering. A detailed description of the clusters has
                 been given for the corresponding processes on $ R^2 $
                 in Klenke (1997). Klenke proved that with the right
                 scaling the mean number of particles over certain
                 blocks are asymptotically jointly distributed like
                 marginals of a system of coupled Feller diffusions,
                 called system of tree indexed Feller diffusions,
                 provided that the initial intensity is appropriately
                 increased to counteract the local extinction. The
                 present paper takes different remedy against the local
                 extinction allowing also for state-dependent branching
                 mechanisms. Instead of increasing the initial
                 intensity, the systems are described under the Palm
                 distribution. It will turn out together with the
                 results in Klenke (1997) that the change to the Palm
                 measure and the multiple scale analysis commute, as $ t
                 \to \infty $. The method of proof is based on the fact
                 that the tree indexed systems of the branching
                 processes and of the diffusions in the limit are
                 completely characterized by all their moments. We

  abstract =     "Our main object that we call the Poisson snake is a
                 Brownian snake as introduced by Le Gall. This process
                 has values which are trajectories of standard Poisson
                 process stopped at some random finite lifetime with
                 Brownian evolution. We use this Poisson snake to
                 construct a self-similar fragmentation as introduced by
                 Bertoin. A similar representation was given by Aldous
                 and Pitman using the Continuum Random Tree. Whereas
                 their proofs used approximation by discrete models, our
                 representation allows continuous time arguments.",

                 hierarchical group. As type space we allow continua and
                 describe populations in one colony as measures on the
                 type space. The spatial components of the system
                 interact via migration. Instead of the classical
                 independence assumption on the evolution of different
                 families of the branching population, we introduce
                 interaction between the families through a state
                 dependent branching rate of individuals and in addition
                 state dependent mean offspring of individuals. However
                 for most results we consider the critical case in this
                 work. The systems considered arise as diffusion limits
                 of critical multiple type branching random walks on a
                 countable group with interaction between individual
                 families induced by a branching rate and offspring mean
                 for a single particle, which depends on the total
                 population at the site at which the particle in
                 question is located.\par

                 The main purpose of this paper is to construct the
                 measure valued diffusions in question, characterize
                 them via well-posed martingale problems and finally
                 determine their longtime behavior, which includes some
                 new features. Furthermore we determine the dynamics of
                 two functionals of the system, namely the process of
                 total masses at the sites and the relative weights of
                 the different types in the colonies as system of
                 interacting diffusions respectively time-inhomogeneous
                 Fleming--Viot processes. This requires a detailed
                 analysis of path properties of the total mass
                 processes.\par

                 In addition to the above mentioned systems of
                 interacting measure valued processes we construct the
                 corresponding historical processes via well-posed
                 martingale problems. Historical processes include
                 information on the family structure, that is, the
                 varying degrees of relationship between
                 individuals.\par

                 Ergodic theorems are proved in the critical case for
                 both the process and the historical process as well as
                 the corresponding total mass and relative weights
                 functionals. The longtime behavior differs
                 qualitatively in the cases in which the symmetrized
                 motion is recurrent respectively transient. We see
                 local extinction in one case and honest equilibria in
                 the other.\par

                 This whole program requires the development of some new
                 techniques, which should be of interest in a wider
                 context. Such tools are dual processes in randomly
                 fluctuating medium with singularities and coupling for
                 systems with multi-dimensional components.\par

                 The results above are the basis for the analysis of the
                 large space-time scale behavior of such branching
                 systems with interaction carried out in a forthcoming
                 paper. In particular we study there the universality
                 properties of the longtime behavior and of the family
                 (or genealogical) structure, when viewed on large space
                 and time scales.",

  abstract =     "Shnerb et al. (2000), (2001) studied the following
                 system of interacting particles on $ \mathbb {Z}^d $:
                 There are two kinds of particles, called $A$-particles
                 and $B$-particles. The $A$-particles perform continuous
                 time simple random walks, independently of each other.
                 The jump rate of each $A$-particle is $ D_A$. The
                 $B$-particles perform continuous time simple random
                 walks with jump rate $ D_B$, but in addition they die
                 at rate $ \delta $ and a $B$-particle at $x$ at time
                 $s$ splits into two particles at $x$ during the next $
                 d s$ time units with a probability $ \beta N_A(x, s)d s
                 + o(d s)$, where $ N_A(x, s) \; (N_B(x, s))$ denotes
                 the number of $A$-particles (respectively
                 $B$-particles) at $x$ at time $s$. Conditionally on the
                 $A$-system, the jumps, deaths and splittings of
                 different $B$-particles are independent. Thus the
                 $B$-particles perform a branching random walk, but with
                 a birth rate of new particles which is proportional to
                 the number of $A$-particles which coincide with the
                 appropriate $B$-particles. One starts the process with
                 all the $ N_A(x, 0), \, x \in \mathbb {Z}^d$, as
                 independent Poisson variables with mean $ \mu_A$, and
                 the $ N_B(x, 0), \, x \in \mathbb {Z}^d$, independent
                 of the $A$-system, translation invariant and with mean
                 $ \mu_B$.\par

                 Shnerb et al. (2000) made the interesting discovery
                 that in dimension 1 and 2 the expectation $ \mathbb {E}
                 \{ N_B(x, t) \} $ tends to infinity, {\em no matter
                 what the values of } $ \delta, \beta, D_A$, $ D_B,
                 \mu_A, \mu_B \in (0, \infty)$ {\em are}. We shall show
                 here that nevertheless {\em there is a phase transition
                 in all dimensions}, that is, the system becomes
                 (locally) extinct for large $ \delta $ but it survives
                 for $ \beta $ large and $ \delta $ small.",

                 is realized via some killing procedure. The collision

                 derived as the squared $ L_2 $ norm of a Gaussian
                 stochastic process. Except for some special cases,
                 closed form expressions for Laplace transforms are, in

                 paper to show that for many Gaussian random processes
                 the Laplace transform can be expressed in terms of well
                 understood functions using complex-analytic theorems on

  abstract =     "The higher-order heat-type equation $ \partial u /
                 \partial t = \pm \partial^n u / \partial x^n $ has been
                 investigated by many authors. With this equation is
                 associated a pseudo-process $ (X_t)_{t \ge 0} $ which
                 is governed by a signed measure. In the even-order
                 case, Krylov (1960) proved that the classical arc-sine
                 law of Paul Levy for standard Brownian motion holds for
                 the pseudo-process $ (X_t)_{t \ge 0} $, that is, if $
                 T_t $ is the sojourn time of $ (X_t)_{t \ge 0} $ in the
                 half line $ (0, + \infty) $ up to time $t$, then $
                 P(T_t \in d s) = \frac {ds}{\pi \sqrt {s(t - s)}}$, $ 0
                 < s < t$. Orsingher (1991) and next Hochberg and
                 Orsingher (1994) obtained a counterpart to that law in
                 the odd cases $ n = 3, 5, 7.$ Actually Hochberg and
                 Orsingher (1994) proposed a more or less explicit
                 expression for that new law in the odd-order general
                 case and conjectured a quite simple formula for it. The
                 distribution of $ T_t$ subject to some conditioning has
                 also been studied by Nikitin \& Orsingher (2000) in the
                 cases $ n = 3, 4.$ In this paper, we prove that the
                 conjecture of Hochberg and Orsingher (1994) is true and
                 we extend the results of Nikitin \& Orsingher for any
                 integer $n$. We also investigate the distributions of
                 maximal and minimal functionals of $ (X_t)_{t \ge 0}$,
                 as well as the distribution of the last time before
                 becoming definitively negative up to time $t$.",

                 is neither $0$ nor $ + \infty $. Thus, we say that a
                 percolation transition occurs. In a first time, we show

                 according to a critical branching process. Strong
                 transience of the random walk guarantees existence of
                 an equilibrium for this two-level branching system. In

                 $ Z^d $ with $ d \geq 1 $, whose infection range is
                 denoted by $ L \geq 1 $. The two-point function $
                 \tau_t(x) $ is the probability that $ x \in Z^d $ is
                 infected at time $t$ by the infected individual located
                 at the origin $ o \in Z^d$ at time 0. We prove Gaussian
                 behaviour for the two-point function with $ L \geq L_0$
                 for some finite $ L_0 = L_0 (d)$ for $ d > 4$. When $ d
                 \leq 4$, we also perform a local mean-field limit to
                 obtain Gaussian behaviour for $ \tau_{ tT}(x)$ with $ t
                 > 0$ fixed and $ T \to \infty $ when the infection

                 for any $ b > (4 - d) / 2 d$.\par

                 The proof is based on the lace expansion and an
                 adaptation of the inductive approach applied to the
                 discretized contact process. We prove the existence of
                 several critical exponents and show that they take on
                 their respective mean-field values. The results in this
                 paper provide crucial ingredients to prove convergence
                 of the finite-dimensional distributions for the contact
                 process towards those for the canonical measure of
                 super-Brownian motion, which we defer to a sequel of
                 this paper.\par

                 The results in this paper also apply to oriented
                 percolation, for which we reprove some of the results
                 in \cite{hs01} and extend the results to the local

  abstract =     "This paper concerns the issue of obtaining the large
                 deviation principle for solutions of stochastic
                 equations with possibly degenerate coefficients.
                 Specifically, we explore the potential of the
                 methodology that consists in establishing exponential
                 tightness and identifying the action functional via a
                 maxingale problem. In the author's earlier work it has
                 been demonstrated that certain convergence properties
                 of the predictable characteristics of semimartingales
                 ensure both that exponential tightness holds and that
                 every large deviation accumulation point is a solution
                 to a maxingale problem. The focus here is on the
                 uniqueness for the maxingale problem. It is first shown
                 that under certain continuity hypotheses existence and
                 uniqueness of a solution to a maxingale problem of
                 diffusion type are equivalent to Luzin weak existence
                 and uniqueness, respectively, for the associated
                 idempotent It{\^o} equation. Consequently, if the
                 idempotent equation has a unique Luzin weak solution,
                 then the action functional is specified uniquely, so
                 the large deviation principle follows. Two kinds of
                 application are considered. Firstly, we obtain results
                 on the logarithmic asymptotics of moderate deviations
                 for stochastic equations with possibly degenerate
                 diffusion coefficients which, as compared with earlier
                 results, relax the growth conditions on the
                 coefficients, permit certain non-Lipshitz-continuous
                 coefficients, and allow the coefficients to depend on
                 the entire past of the process and to be discontinuous
                 functions of time. The other application concerns
                 multiple-server queues with impatient customers.",

                 Brownian motions starting from every point in space and
                 time $ R \times R $. It was first introduced by
                 Arratia, and later analyzed in detail by Toth and
                 Werner. More recently, Fontes, Isopi, Newman and
                 Ravishankar (FINR) gave a characterization of the BW,
                 and general convergence criteria allowing in principle
                 either crossing or noncrossing paths, which they
                 verified for coalescing simple random walks. Later
                 Ferrari, Fontes, and Wu verified these criteria for a
                 two dimensional Poisson Tree. In both cases, the paths
                 are noncrossing. To date, the general convergence
                 criteria of FINR have not been verified for any case
                 with crossing paths, which appears to be significantly
                 more difficult than the noncrossing paths case.
                 Accordingly, in this paper, we formulate new
                 convergence criteria for the crossing paths case, and
                 verify them for non-simple coalescing random walks
                 satisfying a finite fifth moment condition. This is the
                 first time that convergence to the BW has been proved
                 for models with crossing paths. Several corollaries are
                 presented, including an analysis of the scaling limit

                 and Durrett.",

  abstract =     "In this paper we continue the investigation of the
                 spectral theory and exponential asymptotics of
                 primarily discrete-time Markov processes, following
                 Kontoyiannis and Meyn (2003). We introduce a new family
                 of nonlinear Lyapunov drift criteria, which
                 characterize distinct subclasses of geometrically
                 ergodic Markov processes in terms of simple
                 inequalities for the nonlinear generator. We
                 concentrate primarily on the class of multiplicatively
                 regular Markov processes, which are characterized via
                 simple conditions similar to (but weaker than) those of
                 Donsker--Varadhan. For any such process $ \{ \Phi (t)
                 \} $ with transition kernel $P$ on a general state
                 space $X$, the following are obtained. Spectral Theory:
                 For a large class of (possibly unbounded) functionals
                 $F$ on $X$, the kernel $ \hat P(x, d y) = e^{F(x)} P(x,
                 d y)$ has a discrete spectrum in an appropriately
                 defined Banach space. It follows that there exists a
                 ``maximal, '' well-behaved solution to the
                 ``multiplicative Poisson equation, '' defined as an
                 eigenvalue problem for $ \hat P$. Multiplicative Mean
                 Ergodic Theorem: Consider the partial sums of this
                 process with respect to any one of the functionals $F$
                 considered above. The normalized mean of their moment
                 generating function (and not the logarithm of the mean)
                 converges to the above maximal eigenfunction
                 exponentially fast. Multiplicative regularity: The
                 Lyapunov drift criterion under which our results are
                 derived is equivalent to the existence of regeneration
                 times with finite exponential moments for the above
                 partial sums. Large Deviations: The sequence of
                 empirical measures of the process satisfies a large
                 deviations principle in a topology finer that the usual
                 tau-topology, generated by the above class of
                 functionals. The rate function of this LDP is the
                 convex dual of logarithm of the above maximal
                 eigenvalue, and it is shown to coincide with the
                 Donsker--Varadhan rate function in terms of relative
                 entropy. Exact Large Deviations Asymptotics: The above
                 partial sums are shown to satisfy an exact large
                 deviations expansion, analogous to that obtained by
                 Bahadur and Ranga Rao for independent random
                 variables.",

                 processes for which the genealogy, suitably
                 time-changed, can be described by an autonomous Markov
                 process are precisely those arising from $ \alpha
                 $-stable branching mechanisms. The random ancestral
                 partition is then a time-changed $ \Lambda

                 Beta-distribution with parameters $ 2 - \alpha $ and $

                 $ \alpha = 2$ (Feller's branching diffusion) and $

                 is identical in law with the first hitting time of a
                 point for some other diffusion. This phenomenon may
                 often be explained using random time change. Because of
                 some potential applications in mathematical finance, we
                 are considering mainly the case when $X$ is a Brownian
                 motion with drift $ \mu > 0, $ denoted $ {B^{(\mu)}_t
                 \colon t \geq 0}, $ but it is obvious that the method
                 presented is more general. We also review the known
                 examples and give new ones. In particular, results
                 concerning one-sided functionals\par

                  $$ \int_0^\infty f(B^{(\mu)}_t){\bf 1}_{{B^{(\mu)}_t <
                 0}} d t \quad {\rm and} \quad \int_0^\infty
                 f(B^{(\mu)}_t){\bf 1}_{{B^{(\mu)}_t > 0}} d t $$

                 are presented. This approach generalizes the proof,
                 based on the random time change techniques, of the fact
                 that the Dufresne functional (this corresponds to $
                 f(x) = \exp ( - 2 x)), $ playing quite an important
                 role in the study of geometric Brownian motion, is
                 identical in law with the first hitting time for a
                 Bessel process. Another functional arising naturally in
                 this context is\par

                  $$ \int_0^\infty \big (a + \exp (B^{(\mu)}_t)
                 \big)^{-2} d t, $$

                 which is seen, in the case $ \mu = 1 / 2, $ to be
                 identical in law with the first hitting time for a
                 Brownian motion with drift $ \mu = a / 2.$ The paper is
                 concluded by discussing how the Feynman--Kac formula

  abstract =     "We consider a parallel server queueing system
                 consisting of a bank of buffers for holding incoming
                 jobs and a bank of flexible servers for processing
                 these jobs. Incoming jobs are classified into one of
                 several different classes (or buffers). Jobs within a
                 class are processed on a first-in-first-out basis,
                 where the processing of a given job may be performed by
                 any server from a given (class-dependent) subset of the
                 bank of servers. The random service time of a job may
                 depend on both its class and the server providing the
                 service. Each job departs the system after receiving
                 service from one server. The system manager seeks to
                 minimize holding costs by dynamically scheduling
                 waiting jobs to available servers. We consider a
                 parameter regime in which the system satisfies both a
                 heavy traffic and a complete resource pooling
                 condition. Our cost function is an expected cumulative
                 discounted cost of holding jobs in the system, where
                 the (undiscounted) cost per unit time is a linear
                 function of normalized (with heavy traffic scaling)
                 queue length. In a prior work, the second author
                 proposed a continuous review threshold control policy
                 for use in such a parallel server system. This policy
                 was advanced as an ``interpretation'' of the analytic
                 solution to an associated Brownian control problem
                 (formal heavy traffic diffusion approximation). In this
                 paper we show that the policy proposed previously is
                 asymptotically optimal in the heavy traffic limit and
                 that the limiting cost is the same as the optimal cost
                 in the Brownian control problem.",

  abstract =     "We consider spatially interacting Moran models and
                 their diffusion limit which are interacting
                 Fisher--Wright diffusions. The Moran model is a spatial
                 population model with individuals of different type
                 located on sites given by elements of an Abelian group.
                 The dynamics of the system consists of independent
                 migration of individuals between the sites and a
                 resampling mechanism at each site, i.e., pairs of
                 individuals are replaced by new pairs where each
                 newcomer takes the type of a randomly chosen individual
                 from the parent pair. Interacting Fisher--Wright
                 diffusions collect the relative frequency of a subset
                 of types evaluated for the separate sites in the limit
                 of infinitely many individuals per site. One is
                 interested in the type configuration as well as the
                 time-space evolution of genealogies, encoded in the
                 so-called historical process. The first goal of the
                 paper is the analytical characterization of the
                 historical processes for both models as solutions of
                 well-posed martingale problems and the development of a
                 corresponding duality theory. For that purpose, we link
                 both the historical Fisher--Wright diffusions and the
                 historical Moran models by the so-called look-down
                 process. That is, for any fixed time, a collection of
                 historical Moran models with increasing particle
                 intensity and a particle representation for the
                 limiting historical interacting Fisher--Wright
                 diffusions are provided on one and the same probability
                 space. This leads to a strong form of duality between
                 spatially interacting Moran models, interacting
                 Fisher--Wright diffusions on the one hand and
                 coalescing random walks on the other hand, which
                 extends the classical weak form of moment duality for
                 interacting Fisher--Wright diffusions. Our second goal
                 is to show that this representation can be used to
                 obtain new results on the long-time behavior, in
                 particular (i) on the structure of the equilibria, and
                 of the equilibrium historical processes, and (ii) on
                 the behavior of our models on large but finite site
                 space in comparison with our models on infinite site
                 space. Here the so-called finite system scheme is
                 established for spatially interacting Moran models
                 which implies via the look-down representation also the
                 already known results for interacting Fisher--Wright
                 diffusions. Furthermore suitable versions of the finite
                 system scheme on the level of historical processes are
                 newly developed and verified. In the long run the
                 provided look-down representation is intended to answer
                 questions about finer path properties of interacting
                 Fisher--Wright diffusions.",

  abstract =     "We study dynamic monetary risk measures that depend on
                 bounded discrete-time processes describing the
                 evolution of financial values. The time horizon can be
                 finite or infinite. We call a dynamic risk measure
                 time-consistent if it assigns to a process of financial
                 values the same risk irrespective of whether it is
                 calculated directly or in two steps backwards in time.
                 We show that this condition translates into a
                 decomposition property for the corresponding acceptance
                 sets, and we demonstrate how time-consistent dynamic
                 monetary risk measures can be constructed by pasting
                 together one-period risk measures. For conditional
                 coherent and convex monetary risk measures, we provide
                 dual representations of Legendre--Fenchel type based on
                 linear functionals induced by adapted increasing
                 processes of integrable variation. Then we give dual
                 characterizations of time-consistency for dynamic
                 coherent and convex monetary risk measures. To this
                 end, we introduce a concatenation operation for adapted
                 increasing processes of integrable variation, which
                 generalizes the pasting of probability measures. In the
                 coherent case, time-consistency corresponds to
                 stability under concatenation in the dual. For dynamic
                 convex monetary risk measures, the dual
                 characterization of time-consistency generalizes to a
                 condition on the family of convex conjugates of the
                 conditional risk measures at different times. The
                 theoretical results are applied by discussing the
                 time-consistency of various specific examples of
                 dynamic monetary risk measures that depend on bounded
                 discrete-time processes.",

                 {\bf Editor's Note}. A draft of this paper was written
                 in 1994. The paper is one of the first to make any
                 progress on this type of reinforcement problem. It has
                 motivated a substantial number of new and sometimes
                 quite difficult studies of reinforcement models in pure
                 and applied probability. The persistence of interest in
                 models related to this has caused the original
                 unpublished manuscript to be frequently cited, despite
                 its lack of availability and the presence of errors.
                 The opportunity to rectify this situation has led us to
                 the somewhat unusual step of publishing a result that
                 may have already entered the mathematical folklore.",

  abstract =     "In the two-type Richardson model on a graph $ G = (V,
                 E) $, each vertex is at a given time in state $0$, $1$
                 or $2$. A $0$ flips to a $1$ (resp.\ $2$) at rate $
                 \lambda_1$ ($ \lambda_2$) times the number of
                 neighboring $1$'s ($2$'s), while $1$'s and $2$'s never
                 flip. When $G$ is infinite, the main question is
                 whether, starting from a single $1$ and a single $2$,
                 with positive probability we will see both types of
                 infection reach infinitely many sites. This has
                 previously been studied on the $d$-dimensional cubic
                 lattice $ Z^d$, $ d \geq 2$, where the conjecture (on
                 which a good deal of progress has been made) is that
                 such coexistence has positive probability if and only
                 if $ \lambda_1 = \lambda_2$. In the present paper
                 examples are given of other graphs where the set of
                 points in the parameter space which admit such
                 coexistence has a more surprising form. In particular,
                 there exist graphs exhibiting coexistence at some value
                 of $ \frac {\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} \neq 1$ and
                 non-coexistence when this ratio is brought closer to
                 $1$.",

                 The partition elements of the spatial $ \Lambda
                 $-coalescent migrate in a (finite) geographical space
                 and may only coalesce if located at the same site of

                 that come down from infinity, in an analogous way to
                 Schweinsberg (2000). Surprisingly, all spatial
                 coalescents that come down from infinity, also come
                 down from infinity in a uniform way. This enables us to

                 transformed path measure under a trap Hamiltonian,
                 which prevents the motions from escaping to infinity,
                 and a pair-interaction Hamiltonian, which imposes a
                 repellency of the $N$ paths. In fact, this interaction
                 is an $N$-dependent regularisation of the Brownian

                 independent interest in the theory of stochastic
                 processes. The time horizon (interpreted as the inverse

                 possible locations of trees are the sites of a cubic
                 lattice. Each site has two possible states: 'vacant' or
                 'occupied'. Vacant sites become occupied according to
                 independent rate 1 Poisson processes. Independently, at
                 each site ignition (by lightning) occurs according to
                 independent rate lambda Poisson processes. When a site
                 is ignited, its occupied cluster becomes vacant
                 instantaneously. If the lattice is one-dimensional or
                 finite, then with probability one, at each time the
                 state of a given site only depends on finitely many
                 Poisson events; a process with the above description
                 can be constructed in a standard way. If the lattice is
                 infinite and multi-dimensional, in principle, the state
                 of a given site can be influenced by infinitely many

                 function, describing the local diffusion matrix of a
                 diffusion process with a linear drift towards an
                 attraction point, is mapped into the average of that
                 function with respect to the unique invariant measure
                 of the diffusion process, as a function of the
                 attraction point. Such mappings arise in the analysis
                 of infinite systems of diffusions indexed by the
                 hierarchical group, with a linear attractive
                 interaction between the components. In this context,

                 Wright--Fisher diffusions. These are diffusions on the

                 performs an autonomous Wright--Fisher diffusion, while

                 (1) If $ \text {dim}_H F \leq d / 2$, then $ B(F)$ is
                 almost surely a Salem set.\par

                 (2) If $ N \leq d / 2$, then with probability one $
                 \text {dim}_H B(F) = 2 \text {dim} F$ for all Borel
                 sets of $ R_+^N$, where ``$ \text {dim}_H$'' could be
                 everywhere replaced by the ``Hausdorff, '' ``packing,
                 '' ``upper Minkowski, '' or ``lower Minkowski

                 (3) Let $ M_k$ be the set of $k$-multiple points of

                 The Hausdorff dimension aspect of (2) was proved
                 earlier; see Mountford (1989) and Lin (1999). The
                 latter references use two different methods; ours of

                 arguments of Monrad and Pitt (1987) that were designed
                 for studying fractional Brownian motion. If $ N > d /
                 2$ then (2) fails to hold. In that case, we establish
                 uniform-dimensional properties for the $ (N,
                 1)$-Brownian sheet that extend the results of Kaufman
                 (1989) for 1-dimensional Brownian motion. Our
                 innovation is in our use of the {\em sectorial local

  abstract =     "A coagulation model on a finite spatial grid is
                 considered. Particles of discrete masses jump randomly
                 between sites and, while located at the same site,
                 stick together according to some coagulation kernel.
                 The asymptotic behavior (for increasing particle
                 numbers) of this model is studied in the situation when
                 the coagulation kernel grows sufficiently fast so that
                 the phenomenon of gelation is observed. Weak
                 accumulation points of an appropriate sequence of
                 measure-valued processes are characterized in terms of
                 solutions of a nonlinear equation. A natural
                 description of the behavior of the gel is obtained by
                 using the one-point compactification of the size space.
                 Two aspects of the limiting equation are of special
                 interest. First, for a certain class of coagulation
                 kernels, this equation differs from a naive extension
                 of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation. Second, due to
                 spatial inhomogeneity, an equation for the time
                 evolution of the gel mass density has to be added. The
                 jump rates are assumed to vanish with increasing
                 particle masses so that the gel is immobile. Two
                 different gel growth mechanisms (active and passive
                 gel) are found depending on the type of the coagulation
                 kernel.",

  abstract =     "This work introduces the extended Skorokhod problem
                 (ESP) and associated extended Skorokhod map (ESM) that
                 enable a pathwise construction of reflected diffusions
                 that are not necessarily semimartingales. Roughly
                 speaking, given the closure $G$ of an open connected
                 set in $ {\mathbb R}^J$, a non-empty convex cone $ d(x)
                 \subset {\mathbb R}^J$ specified at each point $x$ on
                 the boundary $ \partial G$, and a c{\`a}dl{\`a}g
                 trajectory $ \psi $ taking values in $ {\mathbb R}^J$,
                 the ESM $ \bar \Gamma $ defines a constrained version $
                 \phi $ of $ \psi $ that takes values in $G$ and is such
                 that the increments of $ \phi - \psi $ on any interval
                 $ [s, t]$ lie in the closed convex hull of the
                 directions $ d(\phi (u)), u \in (s, t]$. When the graph
                 of $ d(\cdot)$ is closed, the following three
                 properties are established: (i) given $ \psi $, if $
                 (\phi, \eta)$ solve the ESP then $ (\phi, \eta)$ solve
                 the corresponding Skorokhod problem (SP) if and only if
                 $ \eta $ is of bounded variation; (ii) given $ \psi $,
                 any solution $ (\phi, \eta)$ to the ESP is a solution
                 to the SP on the interval $ [0, \tau_0)$, but not in
                 general on $ [0, \tau_0]$, where $ \tau_0$ is the first
                 time that $ \phi $ hits the set $ {\cal V}$ of points $
                 x \in \partial G$ such that $ d(x)$ contains a line;
                 (iii) the graph of the ESM $ \bar \Gamma $ is closed on
                 the space of c{\`a}dl{\`a}g trajectories (with respect
                 to both the uniform and the $ J_1$-Skorokhod
                 topologies).\par

                 The paper then focuses on a class of multi-dimensional
                 ESPs on polyhedral domains with a non-empty $ {\cal
                 V}$-set. Uniqueness and existence of solutions for this
                 class of ESPs is established and existence and pathwise
                 uniqueness of strong solutions to the associated
                 stochastic differential equations with reflection is
                 derived. The associated reflected diffusions are also
                 shown to satisfy the corresponding submartingale
                 problem. Lastly, it is proved that these reflected
                 diffusions are semimartingales on $ [0, \tau_0]$. One
                 motivation for the study of this class of reflected
                 diffusions is that they arise as approximations of
                 queueing networks in heavy traffic that use the
                 so-called generalised processor sharing discipline.",

  abstract =     "For discrete-time stochastic processes, there is a
                 close connection between return (resp. waiting) times
                 and entropy (resp. relative entropy). Such a connection
                 cannot be straightforwardly extended to the
                 continuous-time setting. Contrarily to the
                 discrete-time case one needs a reference measure on

                 entropy rather than entropy. In this paper we elaborate
                 on this in the case of continuous-time Markov processes
                 with finite state space. A reference measure of special
                 interest is the one associated to the time-reversed
                 process. In that case relative entropy is interpreted
                 as the entropy production rate. The main results of
                 this paper are: almost-sure convergence to relative
                 entropy of the logarithm of waiting-times ratios
                 suitably normalized, and their fluctuation properties
                 (central limit theorem and large deviation
                 principle).",

  abstract =     "Consider the following forest-fire model where trees
                 are located on sites of $ \mathbb {Z} $. A site can be
                 vacant or be occupied by a tree. Each vacant site
                 becomes occupied at rate $1$, independently of the
                 other sites. Each site is hit by lightning with rate $
                 \lambda $, which burns down the occupied cluster of
                 that site instantaneously. As $ \lambda \downarrow 0$
                 this process is believed to display self-organised
                 critical behaviour.\par

                 This paper is mainly concerned with the cluster size
                 distribution in steady-state. Drossel, Clar and Schwabl
                 (1993) claimed that the cluster size distribution has a
                 certain power law behaviour which holds for cluster
                 sizes that are not too large compared to some explicit
                 cluster size $ s_{max}$. The latter can be written in
                 terms of $ \lambda $ approximately as $ s_{max} \ln
                 (s_{max}) = 1 / \lambda $. However, Van den Berg and
                 Jarai (2005) showed that this claim is not correct for
                 cluster sizes of order $ s_{max}$, which left the
                 question for which cluster sizes the power law
                 behaviour {\em does} hold. Our main result is a
                 rigorous proof of the power law behaviour up to cluster
                 sizes of the order $ s_{max}^{1 / 3}$. Further, it
                 proves the existence of a stationary translation
                 invariant distribution, which was always assumed but
                 never shown rigorously in the literature.",

  abstract =     "Let $ X = (X_{i, j})_{m \times n}, m \ge n $, be a
                 complex Gaussian random matrix with mean zero and
                 variance $ \frac 1 n $, let $ S = X^*X $ be a sample
                 covariance matrix. In this paper we are mainly
                 interested in the limiting behavior of eigenvalues when
                 $ \frac m n \rightarrow \gamma \ge 1 $ as $ n
                 \rightarrow \infty $. Under certain conditions on $k$,
                 we prove the central limit theorem holds true for the
                 $k$-th largest eigenvalues $ \lambda_{(k)}$ as $k$
                 tends to infinity as $ n \rightarrow \infty $. The
                 proof is largely based on the
                 Costin--Lebowitz--Soshnikov argument and the asymptotic
                 estimates for the expectation and variance of the
                 number of eigenvalues in an interval. The standard
                 technique for the RH problem is used to compute the
                 exact formula and asymptotic properties for the mean
                 density of eigenvalues. As a by-product, we obtain a
                 convergence speed of the mean density of eigenvalues to
                 the Marchenko--Pastur distribution density under the

                 used in previous works in the same context. In our
                 asymptotic expansions, however, not only the principal
                 term but also the second order term are expressed
                 explicitly in terms of a few basic functions that are
                 characteristics of the expansion. The second order term
                 will be important for instance in computation of the
                 harmonic measures of a half space for certain models.
                 We introduce a certain aperiodicity condition, named
                 Condition (AP), that seems a minimal one under which
                 the Fourier analysis can be applied straightforwardly.
                 In the case when Condition (AP) is violated the
                 structure of MA processes will be clarified and it will
                 be shown that in a simple manner the process, if not
                 degenerate, are transformed to another one that
                 satisfies Condition (AP) so that from it we derive
                 either directly or indirectly (depending on purpose)
                 the asymptotic expansions for the original process. It
                 in particular is shown that if the MA processes is
                 irreducible as a Markov process, then the Green
                 function is expanded quite similarly to that of a
                 classical random walk on $ Z^d $.",

  abstract =     "In this paper, we develop a new ``robust mixing''
                 framework for reasoning about adversarially modified
                 Markov Chains (AMMC). Let $ \mathbb {P} $ be the
                 transition matrix of an irreducible Markov Chain with
                 stationary distribution $ \pi $. An adversary announces
                 a sequence of stochastic matrices $ \{ \mathbb {A}_t
                 \}_{t > 0} $ satisfying $ \pi \mathbb {A}_t = \pi $. An
                 AMMC process involves an application of $ \mathbb {P} $
                 followed by $ \mathbb {A}_t $ at time $t$. The robust
                 mixing time of an ergodic Markov Chain $ \mathbb {P}$
                 is the supremum over all adversarial strategies of the
                 mixing time of the corresponding AMMC process.
                 Applications include estimating the mixing times for
                 certain non-Markovian processes and for reversible
                 liftings of Markov Chains.\par

                 {\bf Non-Markovian card shuffling processes}: The
                 random-to-cyclic transposition process is a {\em
                 non-Markovian} card shuffling process, which at time
                 $t$, exchanges the card at position $ L_t := t {\pmod
                 n}$ with a random card. Mossel, Peres and Sinclair
                 (2004) showed a lower bound of $ (0.0345 + o(1))n \log
                 n$ for the mixing time of the random-to-cyclic
                 transposition process. They also considered a
                 generalization of this process where the choice of $
                 L_t$ is adversarial, and proved an upper bound of $ C n
                 \log n + O(n)$ (with $ C \approx 4 \times 10^5$) on the
                 mixing time. We reduce the constant to $1$ by showing
                 that the random-to-top transposition chain ({\em a
                 Markov Chain}) has robust mixing time $ \leq n \log n +
                 O(n)$ when the adversarial strategies are limited to
                 holomorphic strategies, i.e., those strategies which
                 preserve the symmetry of the underlying Markov Chain.
                 We also show a $ O(n \log^2 n)$ bound on the robust
                 mixing time of the lazy random-to-top transposition
                 chain when the adversary is not limited to holomorphic
                 strategies.\par

                 {\bf Reversible liftings}: Chen, Lovasz and Pak showed
                 that for a reversible ergodic Markov Chain $ \mathbb
                 {P}$, any reversible lifting $ \mathbb {Q}$ of $
                 \mathbb {P}$ must satisfy $ \mathcal {T}(\mathbb {P})
                 \leq \mathcal {T}(\mathbb {Q}) \log (1 / \pi_*)$ where
                 $ \pi_*$ is the minimum stationary probability. Looking
                 at a specific adversarial strategy allows us to show
                 that $ \mathcal {T}(\mathbb {Q}) \geq r(\mathbb {P})$
                 where $ r(\mathbb {P})$ is the relaxation time of $
                 \mathbb {P}$. This gives an alternate proof of the
                 reversible lifting result and helps identify cases
                 where reversible liftings cannot improve the mixing
                 time by more than a constant factor.",

                 which become extinct (i.e., hit 0) with positive
                 probability. We characterize all the quasi-stationary
                 distributions (QSD) for the CB-process as a
                 stochastically monotone family indexed by a real
                 number. We prove that the minimal element of this
                 family is the so-called Yaglom quasi-stationary
                 distribution, that is, the limit of one-dimensional
                 marginals conditioned on being nonzero. Next, we
                 consider the branching process conditioned on not being
                 extinct in the distant future, or $Q$-process, defined
                 by means of Doob $h$-transforms. We show that the
                 $Q$-process is distributed as the initial CB-process
                 with independent immigration, and that under the $ L
                 \log L$ condition, it has a limiting law which is the
                 size-biased Yaglom distribution (of the CB-process).
                 More generally, we prove that for a wide class of
                 nonnegative Markov processes absorbed at 0 with
                 probability 1, the Yaglom distribution is always
                 stochastically dominated by the stationary probability
                 of the $Q$-process, assuming that both exist. Finally,
                 in the diffusion case and in the stable case, the
                 $Q$-process solves a SDE with a drift term that can be
                 seen as the instantaneous immigration.",

                 and conditional expectation for random variables with
                 values in a local field such as the $p$-adic numbers.
                 We define the expectation by analogy with the
                 observation that for real-valued random variables in $
                 L^2$ the expected value is the orthogonal projection
                 onto the constants. Previous work has shown that the
                 local field version of $ L^\infty $ is the appropriate
                 counterpart of $ L^2$, and so the expected value of a
                 local field-valued random variable is defined to be its
                 ``projection'' in $ L^\infty $ onto the
                 constants.\par

                 Unlike the real case, the resulting projection is not
                 typically a single constant, but rather a ball in the
                 metric on the local field. However, many properties of
                 this expectation operation and the corresponding
                 conditional expectation mirror those familiar from the
                 real-valued case; for example, conditional expectation
                 is, in a suitable sense, a contraction on $ L^\infty $
                 and the tower property holds. We also define the
                 corresponding notion of martingale, show that several
                 standard examples of martingales (for example, sums or
                 products of suitable independent random variables or
                 ``harmonic'' functions composed with Markov chains)
                 have local field analogues, and obtain versions of the

                 parabolic Anderson equation, i.e., the spatially
                 discrete heat equation on the d-dimensional integer
                 lattice with a space-time random potential. The
                 solution of the equation describes the evolution of a
                 ``reactant'' under the influence of a ``catalyst''.

                 In this paper we focus on the case where the random
                 field is an exclusion process with a symmetric random
                 walk transition kernel, starting from Bernoulli
                 equilibrium. We consider the annealed Lyapunov
                 exponents, i.e., the exponential growth rates of the
                 successive moments of the solution. We show that these
                 exponents are trivial when the random walk is
                 recurrent, but display an interesting dependence on the
                 diffusion constant when the random walk is transient,
                 with qualitatively different behavior in different
                 dimensions. Special attention is given to the
                 asymptotics of the exponents when the diffusion
                 constant tends to infinity, which is controlled by
                 moderate deviations of the random field requiring a
                 delicate expansion argument.\par

                 In G{\"a}rtner and den Hollander [10] the case of a
                 Poisson field of independent (simple) random walks was
                 studied. The two cases show interesting differences and
                 similarities. Throughout the paper, a comparison of the
                 two cases plays a crucial role.",

                 renewal sequence on $Z$ and gives a random
                 (site-dependent) reward or penalty to the occurrence of
                 a renewal at any given point of $Z$. These models are

                 $X$ is observed along the path of a Brownian motion in
                 the following way: when the Brownian motion encounters
                 a bell different from the last one visited, we hear a

                 \sum_{k \ne i} G(i, k)$, and $ z > 0$ is a strength
                 parameter. In these chains, as time grows, the

                 common distribution function is regularly varying with
                 exponent $ 1 - \tau $. Depending on the value of the
                 parameter $ \tau $ we can distinct three cases: (i) $

                 (ii) $ \tau \in (2, 3) $, where the degrees have

                 \tau \in (1, 2), $ have been studied in previous

                 in this model to Internet data, where a degree power

                 are influenced by mutation, selection and genetic
                 drift. Provided that the branches of the tree
                 correspond to lineages belonging to genetically
                 isolated populations (e.g., multi-species phylogenies),
                 the interplay between these three processes can be
                 described by analyzing the process of substitutions to
                 the common ancestor of each population. We characterize
                 this process for a class of diffusion models from
                 population genetics theory using the structured
                 coalescent process introduced by Kaplan et al. (1988)
                 and formalized in Barton et al. (2004). For two-allele
                 models, this approach allows both the stationary
                 distribution of the type of the common ancestor and the
                 generator of the common ancestor process to be
                 determined by solving a one-dimensional boundary value
                 problem. In the case of a Wright--Fisher diffusion with
                 genic selection, this solution can be found in closed
                 form, and we show that our results complement those
                 obtained by Fearnhead (2002) using the ancestral
                 selection graph. We also observe that approximations
                 which neglect recurrent mutation can significantly
                 underestimate the exact substitution rates when
                 selection is strong. Furthermore, although we are
                 unable to find closed-form expressions for models with
                 frequency-dependent selection, we can still solve the
                 corresponding boundary value problem numerically and
                 then use this solution to calculate the substitution
                 rates to the common ancestor. We illustrate this
                 approach by studying the effect of dominance on the
                 common ancestor process in a diploid population.
                 Finally, we show that the theory can be formally
                 extended to diffusion models with more than two genetic
                 backgrounds, but that it leads to systems of singular
                 partial differential equations which we have been
                 unable to solve.",

                 the vertex set of one graph to the vertex set of the

                 study the range of a uniformly chosen homomorphism from

                 order. We study their dependence on the sequence of
                 record indices (i.e., the least elements) of the blocks

                 of the age-ordered frequencies has a left-neutral
                 stick-breaking structure. Such a property in fact
                 characterizes the Gibbs family among all exchangeable
                 partitions and leads to further interesting results on:
                 (i) the conditional Mellin transform of the $k$-th
                 oldest frequency given the $k$-th record index, and
                 (ii) the conditional distribution of the first $k$
                 normalized frequencies, given their sum and the $k$-th
                 record index; the latter turns out to be a mixture of

                 is a mapping $ \varphi $ such that if $ \varphi^k(x) =
                 x$ for some $k$ and $x$, then $ \varphi (x) = x$.
                 Equivalently, $ \varphi^\ell = \varphi^{\ell + 1} =
                 \ldots $ for $ \ell $ sufficiently large. We
                 investigate the behavior as $ n \rightarrow \infty $ of
                 a sequence of a Markov chain on the collection of such
                 mappings. At each step of the chain, a point in the $n$
                 element set is chosen uniformly at random and the
                 current mapping is modified by replacing the current
                 image of that point by a new one chosen independently
                 and uniformly at random, conditional on the resulting
                 mapping being again acyclic. We can represent an
                 acyclic mapping as a directed graph (such a graph will
                 be a collection of rooted trees) and think of these
                 directed graphs as metric spaces with some extra
                 structure. Informal calculations indicate that the
                 metric space valued process associated with the Markov
                 chain should, after an appropriate time and ``space''
                 rescaling, converge as $ n \rightarrow \infty $ to a
                 real tree ($R$-tree) valued Markov process that is
                 reversible with respect to a measure induced naturally
                 by the standard reflected Brownian bridge. Although we
                 don't prove such a limit theorem, we use Dirichlet form
                 methods to construct a Markov process that is Hunt with
                 respect to a suitable Gromov--Hausdorff-like metric and
                 evolves according to the dynamics suggested by the
                 heuristic arguments. This process is similar to one
                 that appears in earlier work by Evans and Winter as a
                 similarly informal limit of a Markov chain related to
                 the subtree prune and regraft tree (SPR) rearrangements

                 walk conditioned to come back to the origin after $L$
                 steps, $ L \in 2 \mathbb {N}$. In the {\em pinning
                 model} each path $ \eta $ has a weight $
                 \lambda^{N(\eta)}$, where $ \lambda > 0$ and $ N(\eta)$
                 is the number of zeros in $ \eta $. When the paths are
                 constrained to be non-negative, the polymer is said to
                 satisfy a hard-wall constraint. Such models are well
                 known to undergo a localization/delocalization
                 transition as the pinning strength $ \lambda $ is
                 varied. In this paper we study a natural ``spin flip''
                 dynamics for associated to these models and derive
                 several estimates on its spectral gap and mixing time.
                 In particular, for the system with the wall we prove
                 that relaxation to equilibrium is always at least as
                 fast as in the free case (i.e., $ \lambda = 1$ without
                 the wall), where the gap and the mixing time are known
                 to scale as $ L^{-2}$ and $ L^2 \log L$, respectively.
                 This improves considerably over previously known
                 results. For the system without the wall we show that
                 the equilibrium phase transition has a clear dynamical
                 manifestation: for $ \lambda \geq 1$ relaxation is
                 again at least as fast as the diffusive free case, but
                 in the strictly delocalized phase ($ \lambda < 1$) the

  abstract =     "Using the LePage representation, a symmetric
                 alpha-stable random element in Banach space B with
                 alpha from (0, 2) can be represented as a sum of points
                 of a Poisson process in B. This point process is
                 union-stable, i.e., the union of its two independent
                 copies coincides in distribution with the rescaled
                 original point process. This shows that the classical
                 definition of stable random elements is closely related
                 to the union-stability property of point processes.
                 These concepts make sense in any convex cone, i.e., in
                 a semigroup equipped with multiplication by numbers,
                 and lead to a construction of stable laws in general
                 cones by means of the LePage series. We prove that
                 random samples (or binomial point processes) in rather
                 general cones converge in distribution in the vague
                 topology to the union-stable Poisson point process.
                 This convergence holds also in a stronger topology,
                 which implies that the sums of points converge in
                 distribution to the sum of points of the union-stable
                 point process. Since the latter corresponds to a stable
                 law, this yields a limit theorem for normalised sums of
                 random elements with alpha-stable limit for alpha from
                 (0, 1). By using the technique of harmonic analysis on
                 semigroups we characterise distributions of
                 alpha-stable random elements and show how possible
                 values of the characteristic exponent alpha relate to
                 the properties of the semigroup and the corresponding
                 scaling operation, in particular, their distributivity
                 properties. It is shown that several conditions imply
                 that a stable random element admits the LePage
                 representation. The approach developed in the paper not
                 only makes it possible to handle stable distributions
                 in rather general cones (like spaces of sets or
                 measures), but also provides an alternative way to
                 prove classical limit theorems and deduce the LePage
                 representation for strictly stable random vectors in
                 Banach spaces.",

                 have reached their equilibrium distribution. This
                 investigation is motivated by a result we proved
                 recently for the random transposition random walk: the
                 distance from the starting point of the walk has a
                 phase transition from a linear regime to a sublinear
                 regime at time $ n / 2 $. Here, we study the examples
                 of random 3-regular graphs, random adjacent
                 transpositions, and riffle shuffles. In the case of a
                 random 3-regular graph, there is a phase transition
                 where the speed changes from 1/3 to 0 at time $ 3 l o
                 g_2 n $. A similar result is proved for riffle
                 shuffles, where the speed changes from 1 to 0 at time $
                 l o g_2 n $. Both these changes occur when a distance
                 equal to the average diameter of the graph is reached.
                 However in the case of random adjacent transpositions,
                 the behavior is more complex. We find that there is no
                 phase transition, even though the distance has

                 Pinning models are statistical mechanics systems to
                 which a lot of attention has been devoted both for
                 their relevance for applications and because they are

                 includes the well known moment method which invokes the
                 trace formula. Its success has been demonstrated in
                 several types of matrices such as the Wigner matrix and
                 the sample variance covariance matrix. In a recent
                 article Bryc, Dembo and Jiang (2006) establish the LSD
                 for the random Toeplitz and Hankel matrices using the
                 moment method. They perform the necessary counting of
                 terms in the trace by splitting the relevant sets into
                 equivalent classes and relating the limits of the
                 counts to certain volume calculations.\par

                 We build on their work and present a unified approach.
                 This helps provide relatively short and easy proofs for
                 the LSD of common matrices while at the same time
                 providing insight into the nature of different LSD and

  abstract =     "We study Mandelbrot's percolation process in dimension
                 $ d \geq 2 $. The process generates random fractal sets
                 by an iterative procedure which starts by dividing the
                 unit cube $ [0, 1]^d $ in $ N^d $ subcubes, and
                 independently retaining or discarding each subcube with
                 probability $p$ or $ 1 - p$ respectively. This step is
                 then repeated within the retained subcubes at all
                 scales. As $p$ is varied, there is a percolation phase
                 transition in terms of paths for all $ d \geq 2$, and
                 in terms of $ (d - 1)$-dimensional ``sheets'' for all $
                 d \geq 3$.\par

                 For any $ d \geq 2$, we consider the random fractal set
                 produced at the path-percolation critical value $
                 p_c(N, d)$, and show that the probability that it
                 contains a path connecting two opposite faces of the
                 cube $ [0, 1]^d$ tends to one as $ N \to \infty $. As
                 an immediate consequence, we obtain that the above
                 probability has a discontinuity, as a function of $p$,
                 at $ p_c(N, d)$ for all $N$ sufficiently large. This
                 had previously been proved only for $ d = 2$ (for any $
                 N \geq 2$). For $ d \geq 3$, we prove analogous results
                 for sheet-percolation.\par

                 In dimension two, Chayes and Chayes proved that $
                 p_c(N, 2)$ converges, as $ N \to \infty $, to the
                 critical density $ p_c$ of site percolation on the
                 square lattice. Assuming the existence of the
                 correlation length exponent $ \nu $ for site
                 percolation on the square lattice, we establish the
                 speed of convergence up to a logarithmic factor. In
                 particular, our results imply that $ p_c(N, 2) - p_c =
                 (\frac {1}{N})^{1 / \nu + o(1)}$ as $ N \to \infty $,
                 showing an interesting relation with near-critical

                 sufficient conditions on the kernel are provided for
                 the moving average to be a semimartingale in its
                 natural filtration. Our results are constructive -
                 meaning that they provide a simple method to obtain
                 kernels for which the moving average is a
                 semimartingale or a Wiener process. Several examples
                 are considered. In the last part of the paper we study
                 general Gaussian processes with stationary increments.
                 We provide necessary and sufficient conditions on

                 the standard nearest neighbor random walk on the

                 subsets $ A \subset \{ - 1, + 1 \}^N $ we give precise
                 estimates for the harmonic measure of $A$, the mean
                 hitting time of $A$, and the Laplace transform of this
                 hitting time. In particular, we give precise sufficient

                 at most linearly in n. The class of graphs we consider
                 includes hyperbolic graphs with sufficiently high
                 degree, where the best upper bound on the mixing time
                 of the free boundary dynamics is polynomial in n, with
                 exponent growing with the inverse temperature. In

  abstract =     "Genetic hitchhiking describes evolution at a neutral
                 locus that is linked to a selected locus. If a
                 beneficial allele rises to fixation at the selected
                 locus, a characteristic polymorphism pattern (so-called
                 selective sweep) emerges at the neutral locus. The
                 classical model assumes that fixation of the beneficial
                 allele occurs from a single copy of this allele that
                 arises by mutation. However, recent theory (Pennings
                 and Hermisson, 2006a, b) has shown that recurrent
                 beneficial mutation at biologically realistic rates can
                 lead to markedly different polymorphism patterns,
                 so-called soft selective sweeps. We extend an approach
                 that has recently been developed for the classical
                 hitchhiking model (Schweinsberg and Durrett, 2005;
                 Etheridge et al., 2006) to study the recurrent mutation
                 scenario. We show that the genealogy at the neutral
                 locus can be approximated (to leading orders in the
                 selection strength) by a marked Yule process with
                 immigration. Using this formalism, we derive an
                 improved analytical approximation for the expected
                 heterozygosity at the neutral locus at the time of
                 fixation of the beneficial allele.",

  abstract =     "Competing particle systems are point processes on the
                 real line whose configurations $X$ can be ordered
                 decreasingly and evolve by increments which are
                 functions of correlated Gaussian variables. The
                 correlations are intrinsic to the points and quantified
                 by a matrix $ Q = \{ q_{ij} \} $. Quasi-stationary
                 systems are those for which the law of $ (X, Q)$ is
                 invariant under the evolution up to translation of $X$.
                 It was conjectured by Aizenman and co-authors that the
                 matrix $Q$ of robustly quasi-stationary systems must
                 exhibit a hierarchical structure. This was established
                 recently, up to a natural decomposition of the system,
                 whenever the set $ S_Q$ of values assumed by $ q_{ij}$
                 is finite. In this paper, we study the general case
                 where $ S_Q$ may be infinite. Using the past increments
                 of the evolution, we show that the law of robustly
                 quasi-stationary systems must obey the
                 Ghirlanda--Guerra identities, which first appear in the
                 study of spin glass models. This provides strong
                 evidence that the above conjecture also holds in the
                 general case. In addition, it yields an alternative
                 proof of a theorem of Ruzmaikina and Aizenman for

                 genealogy of a sample of individuals from a subdivided
                 population that experiences sporadic mass extinction
                 events. By exploiting a separation of time scales that
                 occurs within a class of structured population models
                 generalizing Wright's island model, we show that as the
                 number of demes tends to infinity, the limiting form of
                 the genealogy can be described in terms of the
                 alternation of instantaneous scattering phases that
                 depend mainly on local demographic processes, and
                 extended collecting phases that are dominated by global
                 processes. When extinction and recolonization events
                 are local, the genealogy is described by Kingman's
                 coalescent, and the scattering phase influences only
                 the overall rate of the process. In contrast, if the
                 demes left vacant by a mass extinction event are
                 recolonized by individuals emerging from a small number
                 of demes, then the limiting genealogy is a coalescent
                 process with simultaneous multiple mergers (a $ \Xi
                 $-coalescent). In this case, the details of the

                 $ \dot w $ denotes space-time white noise, $ \sigma
                 \colon R \to R $ is [globally] Lipschitz continuous,
                 and $ \cal L $ is the $ L^2$-generator of a L'evy
                 process. We present precise criteria for existence as
                 well as uniqueness of solutions. More significantly, we
                 prove that these solutions grow in time with at most a
                 precise exponential rate. We establish also that when $

                 sublinear, the solution to the nonlinear heat equation
                 is ``weakly intermittent, '' provided that the

                 When $ {\cal L} = \kappa \partial_{xx}$ for $ \kappa >
                 0$, these formulas agree with the earlier results of

                 That is when $ u_0 = \delta_0$ or $ u_0 \equiv 1$; in

                 reciprocating function $r$ is constructed, based only
                 on the distribution of $X$, such that the conditional
                 distribution of $X$ given the (at-most-)two-point set $
                 \{ X, r(X) \} $ is the zero-mean distribution on this
                 set; in fact, a more general construction without the

                 characterizations of the reciprocating function and
                 modeling distribution asymmetry patterns. The mentioned
                 disintegration of zero-mean r.v.'s implies, in
                 particular, that an arbitrary zero-mean distribution is
                 represented as the mixture of two-point zero-mean
                 distributions; moreover, this mixture representation is

                 asymmetry patterns and for location without symmetry
                 conditions. Exact inequalities implying conservative
                 properties of such tests are presented. These

                 chains constructed by parallel and simulated tempering,
                 and provide a set of sufficient conditions for torpid
                 mixing of both techniques. Combined with the results of
                 Woodard, Schmidler and Huber (2009), these results
                 yield a two-sided bound on the spectral gap of these
                 algorithms. We identify a persistence property of the
                 target distribution, and show that it can lead
                 unexpectedly to slow mixing that commonly used
                 convergence diagnostics will fail to detect. For a
                 multimodal distribution, the persistence is a measure
                 of how ``spiky'', or tall and narrow, one peak is
                 relative to the other peaks of the distribution. We
                 show that this persistence phenomenon can be used to
                 explain the torpid mixing of parallel and simulated
                 tempering on the ferromagnetic mean-field Potts model
                 shown previously. We also illustrate how it causes
                 torpid mixing of tempering on a mixture of normal
                 distributions with unequal covariances in $ R^M $, a
                 previously unknown result with relevance to statistical
                 inference problems. More generally, anytime a
                 multimodal distribution includes both very narrow and
                 very wide peaks of comparable probability mass,
                 parallel and simulated tempering are shown to mix

                 variance when L is a positive integer multiple of the
                 parameter a but, in general, the full variance has an
                 additional bounded fluctuating term. The main results
                 of the paper still hold for the full variance itself,

                 process and the distribution of a Poisson process were
                 derived by combining discretization with a result based
                 on Stein's method. In the present article we
                 concentrate on point processes that have a density with
                 respect to a Poisson process, for which we can apply a
                 corresponding result directly without the detour of
                 discretization. This enables us to obtain better and
                 more natural bounds in the $ d_2$-metric, and for the
                 first time also bounds in the stro
