Scaling limit of the random walk among random traps on ℤd

Jean-Christophe Mourrat (2011)

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

Attributing a positive value τx to each x∈ℤd, we investigate a nearest-neighbour random walk which is reversible for the measure with weights (τx), 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 d≥5. We obtain the quenched subdiffusive scaling limit of the model, the limit being the fractional kinetics process. We begin our proof by expressing the random walk as the...

Scaling of a random walk on a supercritical contact process

F. den Hollander, R. S. dos Santos (2014)

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

We prove a strong law of large numbers for a one-dimensional random walk in a dynamic random environment given by a supercritical contact process in equilibrium. The proof uses a coupling argument based on the observation that the random walk eventually gets trapped inside the union of space–time cones contained in the infection clusters generated by single infections. In the case where the local drifts of the random walk are smaller than the speed at which infection clusters grow, the random walk...

Second-order asymptotic expansion for a non-synchronous covariation estimator

Arnak Dalalyan, Nakahiro Yoshida (2011)

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

In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating the covariation of two diffusion processes when observations are subject to non-synchronicity. Building on recent papers [Bernoulli11 (2005) 359–379, Ann. Inst. Statist. Math.60 (2008) 367–406], we derive second-order asymptotic expansions for the distribution of the Hayashi–Yoshida estimator in a fairly general setup including random sampling schemes and non-anticipative random drifts. The key steps leading to our results are a second-order decomposition...
