A Local Limit Theorem for Random Walks in Balanced Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
Central limit theorems for random walks in quenched random environments have attracted plenty of attention in the past years. More recently still, finer local limit theorems — yielding a Gaussian density multiplied by a highly oscillatory modulating factor — for such models have been obtained. In the one-dimensional nearest-neighbor case with i.i.d. transition probabilities, local limits of uniformly elliptic ballistic walks are now well understood. We complete the picture by proving a similar result for the only recurrent case, namely the balanced one, in which such a walk is diffusive. The method of proof is, out of necessity, entirely different from the ballistic case.

A PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...
متن کاملCentral Limit Theorem and recurrence for random walks in bistochastic random environments
We prove the annealed Central Limit Theorem for random walks in bistochastic random environments on Zd with zero local drift. The proof is based on a “dynamicist’s interpretation” of the system, and requires a much weaker condition than the customary uniform ellipticity. Moreover, recurrence is derived for d ≤ 2.

متن کاملLocal Limit Theorems for Random Walks in a 1D Random Environment
We consider random walks (RW) in a one-dimensional i.i.d. random environment with jumps to the nearest neighbours. For almost all environments, we prove a quenched Local Limit Theorem (LLT) for the position of the walk if the diffusivity condition is satisfied. As a corollary, we obtain the annealed version of the LLT and a new proof of the theorem of Lalley which states that the distribution o...
متن کاملRandom walks in dynamic random environments and ancestry under local population regulation ∗
We consider random walks in dynamic random environments, with an environment generated by the time-reversal of a Markov process from the oriented percolation universality class. If the influence of the random medium on the walk is small in space-time regions where the medium is typical, we obtain a law of large numbers and an averaged central limit theorem for the walk via a regeneration constr...
