Upper tails of self-intersection local times of random walks: survey of proof techniques

Wolfgang König (2010)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

Similarity:

The asymptotics of the probability that the self-intersection local time of a random walk on ℤ d exceeds its expectation by a large amount is a fascinating subject because of its relation to some models from Statistical Mechanics, to large-deviation theory and variational analysis and because of the variety of the effects that can be observed. However, the proof of the upper bound is notoriously difficult and requires various sophisticated techniques. We survey some heuristics and some...

Scaling limit of the random walk among random traps on ℤd

Jean-Christophe Mourrat (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

Attributing a positive value to each ∈ℤ, we investigate a nearest-neighbour random walk which is reversible for the measure with weights ( ), often known as “Bouchaud’s trap model.” We assume that these weights are independent, identically distributed and non-integrable random variables (with polynomial tail), and that ≥5. We obtain the quenched subdiffusive scaling limit of the model, the limit being the fractional kinetics process. We begin our proof...
