Application of moderate deviation techniques to prove Sinai's Theorem on RWRE

Probability 2014-04-01 v1

Abstract

We apply the techniques developed in Comets and Popov (2003) to present a new proof to Sinai's theorem (Sinai, 1982) on one-dimensional random walk in random environment (RWRE), working in a scale-free way to avoid rescaling arguments and splitting the proof in two independent parts: a quenched one, related to the measure PωP_\omega conditioned on a fixed, typical realization ω\omega of the environment, and an annealed one, related to the product measure P\mathbb{P} of the environment ω\omega. The quenched part still holds even if we use another measure (possibly dependent) for the environment.
