Persistence exponent for random processes in Brownian scenery

In this paper we consider the persistence properties of random processes in Brownian scenery, which are examples of non-Markovian and non-Gaussian processes. More precisely we study the asymptotic behaviour for large $T$, of the probability $P[ \sup\_{t\in[0,T]} Δ\_t \leq 1] $ where $Δ\_t = \int\_{\mathbb{R}} L\_t(x) \, dW(x).$ Here $W={W(x); x\in\mathbb{R}}$ is a two-sided standard real Brownian motion and ${L\_t(x); x\in\mathbb{R},t\geq 0}$ is the local time of some self-similar random process $Y$, independent from the process $W$. We thus generalize the results of \cite{BFFN} where the increments of $Y$ were assumed to be independent.

Concentration inequalities for disordered models

We use a generalization of Hoeffding's inequality to show concentration results for the free energy of disordered pinning models, assuming only that the disorder has a finite exponential moment. We also prove some concentration inequalities for directed polymers in random environment, which we use to establish a large deviations results for the end position of the polymer under the polymer measure.

The Vlasov equation with strong magnetic field and oscillating electric field as a model of isotope resonant separation

We study qualitative behavior of the Vlasov equation with strong external magnetic field and oscillating electric field. This model is relevant in order to understand isotop resonant separation. We show that the effective equation is a kinetic equation with a memory term. This memory term involves a pseudo-differential operator whose kernel is characterized by an integral equation involving Bessel functions. In some particular cases, the kernel is explicitly given.
