We consider the diffusion scaling limit of the vicious walkers and derive the time-dependent spatial-distribution function of walkers. The dependence on initial configurations of walkers is generally described by using the symmetric polynomials called the Schur functions. In the special case in the scaling limit that all walkers are started from the origin, the probability density is simplified and it shows that the positions of walkers on the real axis at time one is identically distributed with the eigenvalues of random matrices in the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble. Since the diffusion scaling limit makes the vicious walkers converge to the nonintersecting Brownian motions in distribution, the present study will provide a new method to analyze intersection problems of Brownian motions in one-dimension.

We study the problem of random search in finite networks with a tree topology, where it is expected that the distribution of the first-passage time F(t) decays exponentially. We show that the slope of the exponential tail is independent of the initial conditions of entering the tree in general, and scales exponentially or as a power law with the extent of the tree L, depending on the tendency p to jump toward the target node. It is unfeasible to uniquely determine L and p from measuring the tail slope or the mean first-passage time (MFPT) of an ordinary diffusion along the tree. To unravel the structure, we consider lazy random walkers that take steps with probability m when jumping on the nodes and return with probability q from the leaves. By deriving an exact analytical expression for the MFPT of the intermittent random walk, we verify that the structural information of the tree can be uniquely extracted by measuring the MFPT for two randomly chosen types of tracer particles with distinct experimental parameters m and q. We also address the applicability of our approach in the presence of disorder in the structure of the tree or statistical uncertainty in the experimental parameters.
We consider a class of rotationally invariant unitary random matrix ensembles where the eigenvalue density falls off as an inverse power law. Under a new scaling appropriate for such power law densities (different from the scaling required in Gaussian random matrix ensembles), we calculate exactly the two-level kernel that determines all eigenvalue correlations. We show that such ensembles belong to the class of critical ensembles.
We introduce a model of interacting Random Walk, whose hopping amplitude depends on the number of walkers/particles on the link. The mesoscopic counterpart of such a microscopic dynamics is a diffusing system whose diffusivity depends on the particle density. A non-equilibrium stationary flux can be induced by suitable boundary conditions, and we show indeed that it is mesoscopically described by a Fourier equation with a density dependent diffusivity. A simple mean-field description predicts a critical diffusivity if the hopping amplitude vanishes for a certain walker density. Actually, we evidence that, even if the density equals this pseudo-critical value, the system does not present any criticality but only a dynamical slowing down. This property is confirmed by the fact that, in spite of interaction, the particle distribution at equilibrium is simply described in terms of a product of Poissonians. For mesoscopic systems with a stationary flux, a very effect of interaction among particles consists in the amplification of fluctuations, which is especially relevant close to the pseudo-critical density. This agrees with analogous results obtained for Ising models, clarifying that larger fluctuations are induced by the dynamical slowing down and not by a genuine criticality. The consistency of this amplification effect with altered coloured noise in time series is also proved.
We consider random walkers that deform the medium as they move, enabling a faster motion in regions which have been recently visited. This induces an effective attraction between walkers mediated by the medium, which can be regarded as a space metric, giving rise to a statistical mechanics toy model either for gravity, motion through deformable matter or adaptable geometry. In the strong-deformability regime, we find that diffusion is initially described by the porous medium equation, thus yielding subdiffusive behavior of an initially localized cloud of particles. Indeed, while the average width of a single cloud will sustain a $sigmasim t^{1/2}$ growth, the combined width of the whole ensemble will grow like $sigmasim t^{1/3}$ in a certain time regime. This difference can be accounted for by the strong correlations between the particles, which we explore indirectly through the fluctuations of the center of mass of the cloud and the expected value of the experienced density, defined as the average density measured by the particles themselves.
We study an asymptotic behavior of the return probability for the critical random matrix ensemble in the regime of strong multifractality. The return probability is expected to show critical scaling in the limit of large time or large system size. Using the supersymmetric virial expansion we confirm the scaling law and find analytical expressions for the fractal dimension of the wave functions $d_2$ and the dynamical scaling exponent $mu$. By comparing them we verify the validity of the Chalkers ansatz for dynamical scaling.
