Random walk with barycentric self-interaction
Sala 2 (víctor Ochsenius) - Facultad de Matemáticas - PUC 16:30 Hrs.
Abstract:
We study the asymptotic behaviour of a $d$-dimensional self-interacting random walk $X_n$ which is repelled or attracted by the
centre of mass of its previous trajectory. The walk´s trajectory ${X_1,ldots,X_n}$ can be viewed as a model for a random polymer chain in either poor or good solvent. Analysis of the random walk, and in particular $X_n - G_n$, leads to the study of time-inhomogeneous non-Markov processes $Z_n geq 0$ with one-step mean drifts of the form $$Exp [ Z_{n+1} - Z_n mid Z_n = x ] approx ho x^{-eta} - rac{x} {n},$$ where $eta > 0$ and $ho in R$. We give a recurrence classification and asymptotic theory for processes $Z_n$, which enables us to deduce asymptotic properties of $X_n - G_n$ for our self-interacting random walk.

Quenched exit estimates and ballisticity criteria for random walks in random enviroment
Sala de Seminario CMM, Septimo Piso. Universidad de Chile
Abstract:
Abstract:
The main results of this talk are twofold: First, we answer  affirmatively a strengthened version of a conjecture by Sznitman
concerning estimates of quenched exit probabilities. The second  subject concerns a certain class of ballisticity conditions
introduced also by Sznitman and denoted $(T)_gamma$. Although in  general the conditions are a priori more restrictive the larger $gamma$ is, it is known that the conditions are equivalent and imply  a ballistic behaviour of the RWRE for parameters in $(gamma_d, 1),$ where $gamma_d$ is a constant depending on the dimension and taking values in the interval $(0.366, 0.388).$ Here we show that for d>4, the conditions are in fact equivalent for all parameters $gamma in (0,1)$. Both results are based on techniques developed in a paper on slowdowns of RWRE by Noam Berger. This is joint work with Alejandro Ramírez.

Random Walk in Random Environment with Asymptotically Zero Perturbation
Abstract:
Abstract:
We give criteria for ergodicity, transience and null recurrence for the random walk in random environment on Z^+ = (0,1,2,....), with reflection at the origion, where the random environment is subject to a vanishing perturbation from so called Sinai´s regime. In transient case we also study the speed" which has a logorithmic behavior.

Quenched scaling limits of trap models
Sala 3 - (Sector Postgrado) - Facultad de Matemáticas - UC -16:30 Hrs.
Abstract:
Resumen: We consider Bouchaud´s trap model in the d-dimensional torus. In dimension 1, we prove that the hydrodynamic limit of independent random walks following this dynamics is given by the parabolic problem associated to the FIN diffusion, which is the scaling limit of one particle in this model. In dimension d>1, we prove that the random walk is metastable in the sense of Beltran and Landim, with metastable limit given by the
K-process, introduced in this context by Fontes and Mathieu.
