Sub-Riemannian diffusions on foliated manifolds
[ Abstract ]
We study the horizontal diffusion of a totally geodesic Riemannian foliation. We particularly focus on integration by parts formulas on the path space of the diffusion and present several heat semigroup gradient bounds as a consequence. Connections with a generalized sub-Riemannian curvature dimension inequality are made.

Scaling limits of random walks on trees (English)
[ Abstract ]
I will survey some recent work regarding the scaling limits of random walks on trees, as well as the scaling of the associated local times and cover time. The trees considered will include self-similar pre-fractal graphs, critical Galton-Watson trees and the uniform spanning tree in two dimensions.

Quenched invariance principle for random walks in time-dependent balanced random environment
[ Abstract ]
We prove an almost sure functional limit theorem for a random walk in an space-time ergodic balanced environment under certain moment conditions. The proof is based on the maximal principle for parabolic difference operators. We also deal with the non-elliptic case, where the corresponding limiting diffusion matrix can be random in higher dimensions. This is a joint work with N. Berger, X. Guo and A. Ramirez.

Self-organized criticality in a discrete model of limited aggregation
[ Abstract ]
We consider a discrete model of coagulation, where a large number of particles are initially given a prescribed number of arms. We successively choose arms uniformly at random and bind them two by two, unless they belong to "large" clusters. In that sense, the large clusters are frozen and become inactive. We study the graph structure obtained, and describe what a typical cluster looks like. We show that there is a fixed time T such that, before time T, a typical cluster is a subcritical Galton-Watson tree, whereas after time T, a typical cluster is a critical Galton-Watson tree. In that sense, we observe a phenomenon called self-organized criticality.

Entropy and hypo-coercive methods in hydrodynamic limits
[ Abstract ]
Relative Entropy and entropy production have been main tools
in obtaining hydrodynamic limits Entropic hypo-coercivity can be used to
extend this method to dynamics with highly degenerate noise. I will
apply it to a chain of anharmonic oscillators immersed in a temperature
gradient. Stationary states of these dynamics are of ’non equilibrium’,
and their entropy production does not allow the application of previous
techniques. These dynamics model microscopically an isothermal
thermodynamic transformation between non-equilibrium stationary states.

On interacting particle systems in beta random matrix theory
[ Abstract ]
I will first introduce multilevel Dyson Brownian motions and review how those extend to the setting of beta random matrix theory. Then, I will describe a connection between multilevel Dyson Brownian motions and interacting particle systems on the real line with local interactions. This is the first connection of this kind for values of beta different from 1 and 2. Based on joint work with Vadim Gorin.

Random field of gradients and elasticity
[ Abstract ]
Random fields of gradients are a class of model systems arising in the studies of random interfaces, random geometry, field theory, and elasticity theory. These random objects pose challenging problems for probabilists as even an a priori distribution involves strong correlations, and are likely to be an universal class of models combining probability, analysis and physics in the study of critical phenomena. They emerge in the following three areas, effective models for random interfaces, Gaussian Free Fields (scaling limits), and mathematical models for the Cauchy-Born rule of materials, i.e., a microscopic approach to nonlinear elasticity. The latter class of models requires that interaction energies are non-convex functions of the gradients. Open problems over the last decades include unicity of Gibbs measures, the scaling to GFF and strict convexity of the free energy. We present in the talk first results for the free energy and the scaling limit at low temperatures using Gaussian measures and rigorous renormalisation group techniques yielding an analysis in terms of dynamical systems. The key ingredient is a finite range decomposition for parameter dependent families of Gaussian measures. (partly joint work with S. Mueller & R. Kotecky)
