Previous Step

The investigation of random walks is central to a variety of stochastic processes in physics, chemistry and biology. To describe a transport phenomenon, we study a variant of the one-dimensional persistent random walk, which we call a zero-one-only process. It makes a step in the same direction as the previous step with probability p, and stops to change the direction with 1 − p. By using the generating-function method, we calculate its characteristic quantities such as the statistical moments and probability of the first return.

The One

We present a simple exactly solvable quantum mechanical example of the global anomaly in an O(3) model with an odd number of fermionic triplets coupled to a gauge field on a circle. Because the fundamental group is non-trivial, π1(O(3))=Z2, fermionic level crossing—circling occurs in the eigenvalue spectrum of the one-dimensional Dirac operator under continuous external field transformations. They are shown to be related to the presence of an odd number of normalizable zero modes in the spectrum of an appropriate two-dimensional Dirac operator. We argue that fermionic degrees of freedom in the presence of an infinitely large external field violate perturbative decoupling.

Asymptotic Forms

We consider an asymmetric random walk, with one or two boundaries, on a one-dimensional lattice. At the boundaries, the walker is either absorbed (with probability 1–ρ) or reflects back to the system (with probability p). The probability distribution (Pn (m)) of being at position m after n steps is obtained, as well as the mean number of steps before absorption. In the one-boundary case, several qualitatively different asymptotic forms of P n(m) result, depending on the relationship between transition probability and the reflection probability.

Reflecting Barriers

The paper deals with the one-dimensional modified random walk in the presence of partially reflecting barriers at a and –b (a, b > 0). The simple one-dimensional random walk on a line is the motion-record of a particle which may extend over (–∞, + ∞) or be restricted to a portion of it by absorbing and/or reflecting barriers. Here we introduce the possibility of a particle staying put along with its moving a unit step to the right or to the left and find the bivariate generating functions of the probabilities of a particle reaching m (0 <m <a) under different conditions.
