For n>=1 let X_n be a vector of n independent Bernoulli random variables. We assume that X_n consists of M blocks such that the Bernoulli random variables in block i have success probability p_i. Here M does not depend on n and the size of each block is essentially linear in n. Let X_n be a random vector having the conditional distribution of X_n, conditioned on the total number of successes being at least k_n, where k_n is also essentially linear in n. Define Y_n similarly, but with success probabilities q_i>=p_i. We prove that the law of X_n converges weakly to a distribution that we can describe precisely. We then prove that sup Pr(X_n <= Y_n) converges to a constant, where the supremum is taken over all possible couplings of X_n and Y_n. This constant is expressed explicitly in terms of the parameters of the system.

Place an obstacle with probability $1-p$ independently at each vertex of $mathbb Z^d$ and consider a simple symmetric random walk that is killed upon hitting one of the obstacles. For $d geq 2$ and $p$ strictly above the critical threshold for site percolation, we condition on the environment such that the origin is contained in an infinite connected component free of obstacles. It has previously been shown that with high probability, the random walk conditioned on survival up to time $n$ will be localized in a ball of volume asymptotically $dlog_{1/p}n$. In this work, we prove that this ball is free of obstacles, and we derive the limiting one-time distributions of the random walk conditioned on survival. Our proof is based on obstacle modifications and estimates on how such modifications affect the probability of the obstacle configurations as well as their associated Dirichlet eigenvalues, which is of independent interest.
We consider a discrete time simple symmetric random walk among Bernoulli obstacles on $mathbb{Z}^d$, $dgeq 2$, where the walk is killed when it hits an obstacle. It is known that conditioned on survival up to time $N$, the random walk range is asymptotically contained in a ball of radius $varrho_N=C N^{1/(d+2)}$ for any $dgeq 2$. For $d=2$, it is also known that the range asymptotically contains a ball of radius $(1-epsilon)varrho_N$ for any $epsilon>0$, while the case $dgeq 3$ remains open. We complete the picture by showing that for any $dgeq 2$, the random walk range asymptotically contains a ball of radius $varrho_N-varrho_N^epsilon$ for some $epsilon in (0,1)$. Furthermore, we show that its boundary is of size at most $varrho_N^{d-1}(log varrho_N)^a$ for some $a>0$.
These notes survey some aspects of discrete-time chaotic calculus and its applications, based on the chaos representation property for i.i.d. sequences of random variables. The topics covered include the Clark formula and predictable representation, anticipating calculus, covariance identities and functional inequalities (such as deviation and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities), and an application to option hedging in discrete time.
A new approach to prove weak convergence of random polytopes on the space of compact convex sets is presented. This is used to show that the profile of the rescaled Schlafli random cone of a random conical tessellation generated by $n$ independent and uniformly distributed random linear hyperplanes in $mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ weakly converges to the typical cell of a stationary and isotropic Poisson hyperplane tessellation in $mathbb{R}^d$, as $n to infty$.
A definition of $d$--dimensional $n$--Meixner random vectors is given first. This definition involves the commutators of their semi--quantum operators. After that we will focus on the $1$-Meixner random vectors, and derive a system of $d$ partial differential equations satisfied by their Laplace transform. We provide a set of necessary conditions for this system to be integrable. We use these conditions to give a complete characterization of all non--degenerate three--dimensional $1$--Meixner random vectors. It must be mentioned that the three--dimensional case produces the first example in which the components of a $1$--Meixner random vector cannot be reduced, via an injective linear transformation, to three independent classic Meixner random variables.
