Edge-reinforced random walk, vertex-reinforced jump process and the supersymmetric hyperbolic sigma model.

C Sabot, P Tarres - Journal of the European Mathematical Society (EMS …, 2015 - ems.press
Edge-reinforced random walk (ERRW), introduced by Coppersmith and Diaconis in 1986 [8],
is a random process which takes values in the vertex set of a graph G and is more likely to …

Random spanning forests and hyperbolic symmetry

R Bauerschmidt, N Crawford, T Helmuth… - … in Mathematical Physics, 2021 - Springer
We study (unrooted) random forests on a graph where the probability of a forest is
multiplicatively weighted by a parameter β> 0 β> 0 per edge. This is called the arboreal gas …

Counting the zeros of an elephant random walk

J Bertoin - Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 2022 - ams.org
We study how memory impacts passages at the origin for a so-called elephant random walk
in the diffusive regime. We observe that the number of zeros always grows asymptotically …

A random Schrödinger operator associated with the vertex reinforced jump process on infinite graphs

C Sabot, X Zeng - Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 2019 - ams.org
This paper concerns the vertex reinforced jump process (VRJP), the edge reinforced random
walk (ERRW), and their relation to a random Schrödinger operator. On infinite graphs, we …

Transience of edge-reinforced random walk

M Disertori, C Sabot, P Tarres - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2015 - Springer
We show transience of the edge-reinforced random walk (ERRW) for small reinforcement in
dimension d\ge3 d≥ 3. This proves the existence of a phase transition between recurrent …

Self-repellent random walks on general graphs-achieving minimal sampling variance via nonlinear Markov chains

V Doshi, J Hu - International Conference on Machine …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider random walks on discrete state spaces, such as general undirected graphs,
where the random walkers are designed to approximate a target quantity over the network …

The geometry of random walk isomorphism theorems

R Bauerschmidt, T Helmuth, A Swan - 2021 - projecteuclid.org
The classical random walk isomorphism theorems relate the local times of a continuous-time
random walk to the square of a Gaussian free field. A Gaussian free field is a spin system …

Dynkin isomorphism and Mermin–Wagner theorems for hyperbolic sigma models and recurrence of the two-dimensional vertex-reinforced jump process

R Bauerschmidt, T Helmuth, A Swan - The Annals of Probability, 2019 - JSTOR
We prove the vertex-reinforced jump process (VRJP) is recurrent in two dimensions for any
translation invariant finite-range initial rates. Our proof has two main ingredients. The first is …

Monotonicity and phase transition for the VRJP and the ERRW

R Poudevigne-Auboiron - Journal of the European Mathematical Society, 2022 - ems.press
The vertex-reinforced jump process (VRJP), introduced by Davis and Volkov, is a continuous-
time process that tends to come back to already visited vertices. It is closely linked to the …
