Scaling limit of the random walk among random traps on ℤd
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...
