OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
A random walk bridge is a Sinai excursion if its area process is an excursion. We find the precise asymptotic probability that a random walk is such an excursion, responding to a question of Caravenna and Deuschel, which arose in their study of random polymers exhibiting entropic repulsion. Joint work with Serte Donderwinkel, arXiv:2403.12941.
