Central limit theorem for a random walk on Galton-Watson trees with random conductances

Probability 2024-10-14 v1

Abstract

We show a central limit theorem for random walk on a Galton-Watson tree, when the edges of the tree are assigned randomly uniformly elliptic conductances. When a positive fraction of edges is assigned a small conductance ε\varepsilon, we study the behavior of the limiting variance as ε0\varepsilon\to 0. Provided that the tree formed by larger conductances is supercritical, the variance is nonvanishing as ε0\varepsilon\to 0, which implies that the slowdown induced by the ε\varepsilon-edges is not too strong. The proof utilizes a specific regeneration structure, which leads to escape estimates uniform in ε\varepsilon.
