Event details
In this talk I will apply the tools of dynamical large deviation theory introduced in the previous week's talk to a 1D asymmetric random walk conditioned on spending a finite fraction of time at the origin. This problem was first studied by Nyawo & Touchette (PRE 98, 052103 (2018)) in the continuum where they revealed a dynamical phase transition. At a critical time-fraction, there is a transition from trajectories localized around the origin to trajectories which escape after some fraction of time. The lattice version is solvable in closed form and is one of several models examined in a recent publication of mine (J. Phys. A. 52 425002 (2019)).
