In the Eulerian walker model (also known as rotor walk), each site of the square lattice begins with an arrow pointing to one of its four neighbors. A walker that starts at the origin repeatedly turns the arrow at its current site clockwise by $90^\circ$ and steps in the new direction. Priezzhev, Dhar, Dhar, and Krishnamurthy (1996) introduced this as a model of self-organized criticality and conjectured that, for independent uniform initial directions, the region explored in the first $t$ steps has radius of order $t^{1/3}$. We establish this conjecture and further show that the walker visits every lattice site infinitely often, and that the region it has visited by time $t$, rescaled by $t^{1/3}$, converges to a convex body.
In once-reinforced random walk, introduced by Davis (1990), every edge starts with weight one and is assigned weight $\beta\geq1$ after its first crossing. At each step the walker chooses an incident edge with probability proportional to its weight. For sufficiently large reinforcement $\beta$, the expected range in th...
We consider a branching random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with critical offspring of mean $1$ and spatial motion governed by the jumps of a lazy simple random walk. For every site $x\in\mathbb{Z}^2$, we obtain a uniform asymptotical estimate for the local survival probability, i.e., the probability that there are particles...
We study the near-origin behavior on $[0,T]$ of the singular diffusion whose transition density is given by a Doob transform of the integral kernel of the semigroup generated by the $d$-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator $L^{\gamma}$ with a one-point potential at the origin, where the driving family is the ground state...
We consider the damped nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation \begin{align*} \partial_t^2u-\Delta u+2\alpha\partial_tu+u-|u|^{p-1}u=0 \end{align*} on $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $\alpha>0$, $2\leq d\leq5$, and $p>2$ is in the energy-subcritical range. We classify global solutions that converge to a superposition of two positive and...
We study the superdiffusive behavior of random walks on the randomly oriented Manhattan lattice, i.e., the $d$-dimensional integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ where each axis-aligned line is independently assigned a random direction (forward or backward) with equal probability. The walker takes nearest-neighbor steps, choos...
We prove that, for every integer $t\geq 1$, the unit two-sphere admits a spherical $t$-design consisting of exactly $54t^2$ points. More generally, such a design exists with exactly $6q^2$ points for every integer $q\geq 3t$. The proof builds on the topological degree method of Bondarenko, Radchenko and Viazovska, usin...
