Begin continuous time random walks from every vertex of a graph and have particles coalesce when they collide. We use a duality relation with the voter model to prove the process is site recurrent on bounded degree graphs, and for Galton-Watson trees whose offspring distribution has exponential tail. We prove bounds on the occupation probability of a site, as well as a general 0-1 law. Similar conclusions hold for a coalescing process on trees where particles do not backtrack.

Coalescing random walk on a unimodular random rooted graph for which the root has finite expected degree visits each site infinitely often almost surely. A corollary is that an opinion in the voter model on such graphs has infinite expected lifetime. Additionally, we deduce an adaptation of our main theorem that holds uniformly for coalescing random walk on finite random unimodular graphs with degree distribution stochastically dominated by a probability measure with finite mean.
The main results in this paper are about the full coalescence time $mathsf{C}$ of a system of coalescing random walks over a finite graph $G$. Letting $mathsf{m}(G)$ denote the mean meeting time of two such walkers, we give sufficient conditions under which $mathbf{E}[mathsf{C}]approx 2mathsf{m}(G)$ and $mathsf{C}/mathsf{m}(G)$ has approximately the same law as in the mean field setting of a large complete graph. One of our theorems is that mean field behavior occurs over all vertex-transitive graphs whose mixing times are much smaller than $mathsf{m}(G)$; this nearly solves an open problem of Aldous and Fill and also generalizes results of Cox for discrete tori in $dgeq2$ dimensions. Other results apply to nonreversible walks and also generalize previous theorems of Durrett and Cooper et al. Slight extensions of these results apply to voter model consensus times, which are related to coalescing random walks via duality. Our main proof ideas are a strengthening of the usual approximation of hitting times by exponential random variables, which give results for nonstationary initial states; and a new general set of conditions under which we can prove that the hitting time of a union of sets behaves like a minimum of independent exponentials. In particular, this will show that the first meeting time among $k$ random walkers has mean $approxmathsf{m}(G)/bigl({matrix{k 2}}bigr)$.
We show that the twisted planar random walk - which results by summing up stationary increments rotated by multiples of a fixed angle - is recurrent under diverse assumptions on the increment process. For example, if the increment process is alpha-mixing and of finite second moment, then the twisted random walk is recurrent for every angle fixed choice of the angle out of a set of full Lebesgue measure, no matter how slow the mixing coefficients decay.
We introduce a new type of random walk where the definition of edge reinforcement is very different from the one in the reinforced random walk models studied so far, and investigate its basic properties, such as null/positive recurrence, transience, and speed. Two basic cases will be dubbed impatient andageing random walks.
We study one-dimensional nearest neighbour random walk in site-random environment. We establish precise (sharp) large deviations in the so-called ballistic regime, when the random walk drifts to the right with linear speed. In the sub-ballistic regime, when the speed is sublinear, we describe the precise probability of slowdown.
