Annealed vs quenched critical points for a random walk pinning model
We study a random walk pinning model, where conditioned on a simple random walk on ℤ acting as a random medium, the path measure of a second independent simple random walk up to time is Gibbs transformed with hamiltonian − (, ), where (, ) is the collision local time between and up to time . This model arises naturally in various contexts, including the study of the parabolic Anderson model with moving catalysts, the parabolic Anderson model with brownian noise,...
