چکیده

We consider the continuous-time random walk of a particle in a two-dimensional self-affine quenched random potential of Hurst exponent H>0 . The corresponding master equation is studied via the strong disorder renormalization procedure introduced in Monthus and Garel [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 41, 255002 (2008)]. We present numerical results on the statistics of the equilibrium time t(eq) over the disordered samples of a given size L x L for 10 < or = L< or = 80. We find an "infinite disorder fixed point," where the equilibrium barrier Gamma(eq) identical with t(eq) scales as Gamma(eq)=L(H)u where u is a random variable of order O(1). This corresponds to a logarithmically slow diffusion |r(t)-r(0)| approximately (ln t)(1/H) for the position r(t) of the particle.

Random walks in a random environment on a strip: a renormalization group approach

We present a real space renormalization group scheme for the problem of random walks in a random environment on a strip, which includes the one-dimensional random walk in random environment with bounded non-nearest-neighbour jumps. We show that the model renormalizes to an effective one-dimensional random walk with nearest-neighbour jumps and conclude that Sinai scaling is valid in the recurren...

Self Similar Renormalization Group Applied to Diffusion in non-Gaussian Potentials

We study the problem of the computation of the effective diffusion constant of a Brownian particle diffusing in a random potential which is given by a function V (φ) of a Gaussian field φ. A self similar renormalization group analysis is applied to a mathematically related problem of the effective permeability of a random porous medium from which the diffusion constant of the random potential p...

Time-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method

In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...

Weak Interaction Limits for One-dimensional Random Polymers

In this paper we present a new and flexible method to show that, in one dimension, various self-repellent random walks converge to self-repellent Brownian motion in the limit of weak interaction after appropriate space-time scaling. Our method is based on cutting the path into pieces of an appropriately scaled length, controlling the interaction between the different pieces, and applying an inv...

Strong limit theorems for a simple random walk on the 2-dimensional comb

We study the path behaviour of a simple random walk on the 2-dimensional comb lattice C2 that is obtained from Z2 by removing all horizontal edges off the x-axis. In particular, we prove a strong approximation result for such a random walk which, in turn, enables us to establish strong limit theorems, like the joint Strassen type law of the iterated logarithm of its two components, as well as t...
