*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).
