Title: Exit distributions for isotropic and
anisotropic random walk in random environments
Abstract: We consider the
« standard » random walk in random
environments on a d-dimensional lattice: These are Markov
chains on Zd with
randomly chosen transition probabilities. The collection of
the transition probabilities is called the « random
environment » . They are typically chosen to be i.i.d. at
every point of the lattice. The random environment is called
isotropic if the distribution of the transition probabilities
is invariant under lattice isometries.
The nearest neighbor case for d = 1 is well understood since long, with basic results by Solomon, Sinai, and many others. The non-nearest neighbor one- dimensional case is already much more difficult. This has been investigated in papers by myself and Ilya Goldsheid, and independently by Julien Brémaud.
A basic result in higher dimensions (d ≥ 3) is the one by Bricmont-Kupiainen which proves a central limit theorem in the isotropic case, in a perturbative regime, i.e. when the disorder is small. This work is extremely complicated. In the continuous setup in Rd (also for d ≥ 3), there is a similar result by Sznitman and Zeitouni.
In the talk, I will mainly focus on a multi-scaling approach for exit distributions developed with Erich Baur (Lyon), and Ofer Zeitouni (Weizmann). Originally, with Zeitouni, it was developed for the isotropic case, but recently, with Erich Baur, it has been extended to some anisotropic situations. I will also report on a work in progress on the difficult two-dimensional case.
09 mai 2016: Chandra Ajay (Warwiick) An
analytic BPHZ theorem for Regularity Structures
Abstract:
I will give a light introduction to the theory of regularity structures and then discuss recent developments with regards to renormalization within the theory.
When trying to tame divergences using counterterms within regularity structures there are two key things one has to verify: (i) the insertion of the counter-term corresponds to a renormalization of the equation and is allowed by the algebraic structure of regularity structures, (ii) there is a way to choose the value of counterterms which yield the right stochastic estimates. This verification is difficult when the divergences become numerous and are nested/overlapping.

Directions
From the train station. There is only one station in Genève, called Gare Cornavin. Exit the station by the main entrance and go to the tramway station in front of you. Take tramway number 15 in the direction Palette. Tram ticket is valid for 1
hour (do not take your return ticket yet, it will not be valid
later). When paying at the automatic machine on the platform,
one can use either suisse francs or euros. The machine does not
systematically give change, so it is good to have a few coins
(3.50 CHF or 3 euros).
- If you go to the department: Exit in stop Accacias and cross the street. Carry on walking in the same direction as the tram for 50 meters. The first street on your left is rue du Lièvre. The department is at 2-4 rue du Lièvre, on the second floor (the building doesn't look like a university building, don't be afraid). Purple itinerary on the map below.
- If you go to the hotel directly: You will usually be in Hotel Carmen. Exit in stop Unimail and cross the street at the light. You are at the intersection between boulevard du pont d'Arve and rue Dancet. The hotel is at 5, rue Dancet (phone number +41 223 991 111). Green itinerary on the map below.
From the airport. When picking your checked baggage, there is an automatic machine giving a free ticket for public transportation in Genève which will be valid for your whole trip to the department. Take the train direction Genève (they all stop at your stop). Stop at Gare Cornavin (first stop) and follow the instructions above.
From the hotel to the department. Black itinerary on the map below. Hotel Carmen is at walking distance from the department (5-10 minutes). Walk to the tram station Unimail and walk on boulevard du pont d'Arve following the tramway line in the direction Palette until the next stop, called Accacias. The trip is 200-300 meters and you should cross a bridge. Carry on walking in the same direction for 50 meters. The first street on your left is rue du Lièvre. The department is at 2-4 rue du Lièvre, on the second and sixth floors (the building doesn't look like a university building, don't be afraid).
