Abstract

This paper has two main results, which are connected through the fact that the first is a key ingredient in the second. Both are extensions of results concerning directional transience of nearest-neighbor random walks in random environments to allow for bounded jumps. Zerner and Merkl proved a 0-1 law for directional transience for planar random walks in random environments. We extend the result to non-planar i.i.d. random walks in random environments on Z2\mathbb{Z}^2 with bounded jumps. Sabot and Tournier characterized directional transience for a given direction for nearest-neighbor random walks in Dirichlet environments on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d, d1d\geq1. We extend this characterization to random walks in Dirichlet environments with bounded jumps.
