We study stochastic perturbations of ODE with stable limit cycles -- referred to as stochastic oscillators -- and investigate the response of the asymptotic (in time) frequency of oscillations to changing noise amplitude. Unlike previous studies, we do not restrict our attention to the small noise limit, and account for the fact that large deviation events may push the system out of its oscillatory regime. To do so, we consider stochastic oscillators conditioned on their remaining in an oscillatory regime for all time. This leads us to use the theory of quasi-ergodic measures, and to define quasi-asymptotic frequencies as conditional, long-time average frequencies. We show that quasi-asymptotic frequencies always exist, though they may or may not be observable in practice. Our discussion recovers previous results on stochastic oscillators in the literature. In particular, existing results imply that the asymptotic frequency of a stochastic oscillator depends quadratically on the noise amplitude. We describe scenarios where this prediction holds, though we also show that it is not true in general -- even for small noise.

We introduce a stochastic analysis of Grassmann random variables suitable for the stochastic quantization of Euclidean fermionic quantum field theories. Analysis on Grassmann algebras is developed here from the point of view of quantum probability: a Grassmann random variable is an homomorphism of an abstract Grassmann algebra into a quantum probability space, i.e. a $C^{ast}$-algebra endowed with a suitable state. We define the notion of Gaussian processes, Brownian motion and stochastic (partial) differential equations taking values in Grassmann algebras. We use them to study the long time behavior of finite and infinite dimensional Langevin Grassmann stochastic differential equations driven by Gaussian space-time white noise and to describe their invariant measures. As an application we give a proof of the stochastic quantization and of the removal of the space cut-off for the Euclidean Yukawa model, indicating also how this method can be extended to other models of quantum fields.
Consider a $n times n$ matrix from the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE). Given a finite collection of bounded disjoint real Borel sets $(Delta_{i,n}, 1leq ileq p)$, properly rescaled, and eventually included in any neighbourhood of the support of Wigners semi-circle law, we prove that the related counting measures $({mathcal N}_n(Delta_{i,n}), 1leq ileq p)$, where ${mathcal N}_n(Delta)$ represents the number of eigenvalues within $Delta$, are asymptotically independent as the size $n$ goes to infinity, $p$ being fixed. As a consequence, we prove that the largest and smallest eigenvalues, properly centered and rescaled, are asymptotically independent; we finally describe the fluctuations of the condition number of a matrix from the GUE.
We consider a simple discrete-time Markov chain with values in $[0,infty)^{Z^d}$. The Markov chain describes various interesting examples such as oriented percolation, directed polymers in random environment, time discretizations of binary contact path process and the voter model. We study the phase transition for the growth rate of the total number of particles in this framework. The main results are roughly as follows: If $d ge 3$ and the Markov chain is not too random, then, with positive probability, the growth rate of the total number of particles is of the same order as its expectation. If on the other hand, $d=1,2$, or the Markov chain is random enough, then the growth rate is slower than its expectation. We also discuss the above phase transition for the dual processes and its connection to the structure of invariant measures for the Markov chain with proper normalization.
We study a class of elliptic SPDEs with additive Gaussian noise on $mathbb{R}^2 times M$, with $M$ a $d$-dimensional manifold equipped with a positive Radon measure, and a real-valued non linearity given by the derivative of a smooth potential $V$, convex at infinity and growing at most exponentially. For quite general coefficients and a suitable regularity of the noise we obtain, via the dimensional reduction principle discussed in our previous paper on the topic, the identity between the law of the solution to the SPDE evaluated at the origin with a Gibbs type measure on the abstract Wiener space $L^2 (M)$. The results are then applied to the elliptic stochastic quantization equation for the scalar field with polynomial interaction over $mathbb{T}^2$, and with exponential interaction over $mathbb{R}^2$ (known also as H{o}eg-Krohn or Liouville model in the literature). In particular for the exponential interaction case, the existence and uniqueness properties of solutions to the elliptic equation over $mathbb{R}^{2 + 2}$ is derived as well as the dimensional reduction for the values of the ``charge parameter $sigma = frac{alpha}{2sqrt{pi}} < sqrt{4 left( 8 - 4 sqrt{3} right) pi} simeq sqrt{4.23pi}$, for which the model has an Euclidean invariant probability measure (hence also permitting to get the corresponding relativistic invariant model on the two dimensional Minkowski space).
We review a recent approach to the mean-field limits in neural networks that takes into account the stochastic nature of input current and the uncertainty in synaptic coupling. This approach was proved to be a rigorous limit of the network equations in a general setting, and we express here the results in a more customary and simpler framework. We propose a heuristic argument to derive these equations providing a more intuitive understanding of their origin. These equations are characterized by a strong coupling between the different moments of the solutions. We analyse the equations, present an algorithm to simulate the solutions of these mean-field equations, and investigate numerically the equations. In particular, we build a bridge between these equations and Sompolinsky and collaborators approach (1988, 1990), and show how the coupling between the mean and the covariance function deviates from customary approaches.
