We give a new proof of the vanishing noise limit theorem for exit times of one-dimensional diffusions conditioned on exiting through a point separated from the starting point by a potential wall. We also prove a scaling limit for exit location in a model two-dimensional situation.

The character of the models allows us to argue that the features of the exit time distributions that are described are universal and manifest themselves in various other situations where the times involved can be described as detection or halting times, for example response times studied in psychology.
Noise-induced phase slips, log-periodic oscillations, and the Gumbel distribution
When two synchronised phase oscillators are perturbed by weak noise, they display occasional losses of synchrony, called phase slips. The slips can be characterised by their location in phase space

Fix a graph $H$ and some $p\in (0,1)$, and let $X_H$ be the number of copies of $H$ in a random graph $G(n,p)$. Random variables of this form have been intensively studied since the foundational work
