We consider the periodic Manhattan lattice with alternating orientations going north-south and east-west. Place obstructions on vertices independently with probability $0<p<1$. A particle is moving on the edges with unit speed following the orientation of the lattice and it will turn only when encountering an obstruction. The problem is that for which value of $p$ is the trajectory of the particle closed almost surely. We prove this for $p>frac{1}{2}-varepsilon$ with some $varepsilon>0$.

In the randomly-oriented Manhattan lattice, every line in $mathbb{Z}^d$ is assigned a uniform random direction. We consider the directed graph whose vertex set is $mathbb{Z}^d$ and whose edges connect nearest neighbours, but only in the direction fix ed by the line orientations. Random walk on this directed graph chooses uniformly from the $d$ legal neighbours at each step. We prove that this walk is superdiffusive in two and three dimensions. The model is diffusive in four and more dimensions.
We consider (a variant of) the external multi-particle diffusion-limited aggregation (MDLA) process of Rosenstock and Marquardt on the plane. Based on the recent findings of [11], [10] in one space dimension it is natural to conjecture that the scali ng limit of the growing aggregate in such a model is given by the growing solid phase in a suitable probabilistic formulation of the single-phase supercooled Stefan problem for the heat equation. To address this conjecture, we extend the probabilistic formulation from [10] to multiple space dimensions. We then show that the equation that characterizes the growth rate of the solid phase in the supercooled Stefan problem is satisfied by the scaling limit of the external MDLA process with an inequality, which can be strict in general. In the course of the proof, we establish two additional results interesting in their own right: (i) the stability of a crossing property of planar Brownian motion and (ii) a rigorous connection between the probabilistic solutions to the supercooled Stefan problem and its classical and weak solutions.

We consider the free boundary condition Gibbs measure of the Potts model on a random tree. We provide an explicit temperature interval below the ferromagnetic transition temperature for which this measure is extremal, improving older bounds of Mossel and Peres. In information theoretic language extremality of the Gibbs measure corresponds to non-reconstructability for symmetric q-ary channels. The bounds are optimal for the Ising model and appear to be close to what we conjecture to be the true values up to a factor of 0.0150 in the case q = 3 and 0.0365 for q = 4. Our proof uses an iteration of random boundary entropies from the outside of the tree to the inside, along with a symmetrization argument.

We give a rigorous proof of the fact that a phase transition discovered by Douglas and Kazakov in 1993 in the context of two-dimensional gauge theories occurs. This phase transition can be formulated in terms of the Brownian bridge on the unitary gro up U(N) when N tends to infinity. We explain how it can be understood by considering the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues of the unitary Brownian bridge, and how it can be technically approached by means of Fourier analysis on the unitary group. Moreover, we advertise some more or less classical methods for solving certain minimisation problems which play a fundamental role in the study of the phase transition.
We study the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on trees where particles are generated at the root. Particles can only jump away from the root, and they jump from $x$ to $y$ at rate $r_{x,y}$ provided $y$ is empty. Starting from the all empty initial condition, we show that the distribution of the configuration at time $t$ converges to an equilibrium. We study the current and give conditions on the transition rates such that the current is of linear order or such that there is zero current, i.e. the particles block each other. A key step, which is of independent interest, is to bound the first generation at which the particle trajectories of the first $n$ particles decouple.
