Maximal displacement for bridges of random walks in a random environment
It is well known that the distribution of simple random walks on ℤ conditioned on returning to the origin after 2n steps does not depend on p=P(S1=1), the probability of moving to the right. Moreover, conditioned on {S2n=0} the maximal displacement maxk≤2n|Sk| converges in distribution when scaled by √n (diffusive scaling). We consider the analogous problem for transient random walks in random environments on ℤ. We show that under the quenched law Pω (conditioned on the environment ω), the maximal...
