Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on June 16 at 14.30 at the Math Department of Padova. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. _____________________________________________________ *Speaker:* Françoise Pène (Université de Brest) *Title:* Random walks in random sceneries and related models *Date and time*: Friday, June 16, 2023 at 14.30 *Place*: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova *Zoom link:* https://unipd.zoom.us/j/89608513325 (Meeting ID 896 0851 3325 ) available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ *Abstract:* I will present random walks in random sceneries (RWRS) as well as the following related models : U-statistics indexed by random walks, a model (by Matheron & de Marsily) of stratified media with inhomogeneous layers (random one-way streets) and the one-dimensional Lévy-Lorentz gas (random roundabouts on a line). I will present in particular results obtained in collaboration with Fabienne Castell, Nadine Guillotin-Plantard & Bruno Schapira (RWRS and stratified model), with Brice Franke & Martin Wendler (U-statistics), with Frank Aurzada (persistence), with Alessandra Bianchi and Marco Lenci (Lévy-Lorentz gas). -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi@math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/
