A dynamical system that undergoes a supercritical Hopf’s bifurcation is perturbed by a multiplicative Brownian motion that scales with a small parameter . The random fluctuations of the system at the critical point are studied when the dynamics starts near equilibrium, in the limit as goes to zero. Under a space–time scaling the system can be approximated by a 2-dimensional process lying on the center manifold of the Hopf’s bifurcation and a slow radial component together with a fast angular component are identified. Then the critical fluctuations are described by a “universal” stochastic differential equation whose coefficients are obtained taking the average with respect to the fast variable.

Markovian projections arise in problems where we aim to mimic the one-dimensional marginal laws of an Itô semimartingale by using another Itô process with Markovian dynamics. In applications, Markovian projections are useful in calibrating jump–diffusion models with both local and stochastic features, leading to the study of the inversion problems. In this paper, we invert the Markovian projections for pure jump processes, which can be used to construct calibrated local stochastic intensity (LSI) models for credit risk applications. Such models are jump process analogues of the notoriously hard to construct local stochastic volatility (LSV) models used in equity modeling.

We study the condensation phenomenon for the invariant measures of the mean-field model of reversible coagulation–fragmentation processes conditioned to a supercritical density of particles. It is shown that when the parameters of the associated balance equation satisfy a subexponential tail condition, there is a single giant particle that corresponds to the missing mass in the macroscopic limit. We also show that in this case, the rest of the particles are asymptotically i.i.d according to the normalised equilibrium state of the limit hydrodynamic differential equation. Conditions for the normal fluctuations and the -stable fluctuations around the condensed mass are given. We obtain the large deviation principle for the empirical measure of the masses of the particles at equilibrium as well.

Forsström et al. (2025) recently introduced a large class of -valued processes that they named Poisson representable. In addition to deriving several interesting properties for these processes, their main focus was determining which processes are contained in this class.
In this paper, we derive new characteristics for Poisson representable processes in terms of certain mixing properties. Using these, we argue that neither the upper invariant measure of the supercritical contact process on nor the plus state of the Ising model on within the phase transition regime is Poisson representable. Moreover, we show that on any non-extremal translation invariant state of the Ising model cannot be Poisson representable. Together, these results provide answers to questions raised in Forsström et al. (2025).

In this work, we introduce a spatial branching process to model the growth of the mycelial network of a filamentous fungus. In this model, each filament is described by the position of its tip, the trajectory of which is solution to a stochastic differential equation with a drift term which depends on all the other trajectories. Each filament can branch either at its tip or along its length, that is to say at some past position of its tip, at some time- and space-dependent rates. It can stop growing at some rate which also depends on the positions of the other tips. We first construct the measure-valued process corresponding to this dynamics, then we study its large population limit and we characterise the limiting process as the weak solution to a system of partial differential equations.

Change of numeraire is a classical tool in mathematical finance. Campi–Laachir–Martini (Campi et al., 2017) established its applicability to martingale optimal transport. We note that the results of Campi et al. (2017) extend to the case of weak martingale transport. We apply this to shadow couplings (in the sense of Beiglböck and Juillet (2021)), continuous time martingale transport problems in the framework of Huesmann–Trevisan (Huesmann and Trevisan, 2019) and in particular to establish the correspondence of stretched Brownian motion with its geometric counterpart. From a mathematical finance perspective, the geometric (stretched) Brownian motion and the corresponding geometric Bass local volatility model are more natural, and via the change of numeraire transform the efficient and well-understood algorithm for the Bass local volatility model can be adapted to this geometric counterpart.

The paper investigates the consumption–investment problem for an investor with Epstein–Zin utility in an incomplete market. A non-Markovian environment with unbounded parameters is considered, which is more realistic in practical financial scenarios compared to the Markovian setting. The optimal consumption and investment strategies are derived using the martingale optimal principle and quadratic backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) whose solutions admit some exponential moment. This integrability property plays a crucial role in establishing a key martingale argument. In addition, the paper also examines the associated dual problem and several models within the specified parameter framework.

We consider a regularly varyingstationary sequenceof random variables with tail index . For this sequence we study the joint convergenceof sums, -type moduli and maxima. We focus on ratio statistics, including the studentized sums and sums normalized by the corresponding maxima, and study the existence of moments for the limit ratios. We consider particular examples of processes whose limit ratios possess all moments as in the iid setting. But, in contrast to the latter situation, there also exist dependent sequences where certain moments of the limit ratio are infinite. This phenomenon results from extremal clusters in the sequence.

For this sequence we study the joint convergenceof sums, <span><math><msup><mrow><mi>ℓ</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>p</mi></mrow></msup></math></span>-type moduli and maxima. We focus on ratio statistics, including the studentized sums and sums normalized by the corresponding maxima, and study the existence of moments for the limit ratios. We consider particular examples of processes <span><math><mrow><mo>(</mo><msub><mrow><mi>X</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>t</mi></mrow></msub><mo>)</mo></mrow></math></span> whose limit ratios possess all moments as in the iid setting. But, in contrast to the latter situation, there also exist dependent sequences <span><math><mrow><mo>(</mo><msub><mrow><mi>X</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>t</mi></mrow></msub><mo>)</mo></mrow></math></span> where certain moments of the limit ratio are infinite. This phenomenon results from extremal clusters in the sequence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51160,"journal":{"name":"Stochastic Processes and their Applications","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 104810"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145418568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
