Conductance of a subdiffusive random weighted tree

Probability 2023-04-27 v2

Abstract

We work on a Galton--Watson tree with random weights, in the so-called "subdiffusive" regime. We study the rate of decay of the conductance between the root and the nn-th level of the tree, as nn goes to infinity, by a mostly analytic method. It turns out the order of magnitude of the expectation of this conductance can be less than 1/n1/n (in contrast with the results of Addario-Berry-Broutin-Lugosi and Chen-Hu-Lin), depending on the value of the second zero of the characteristic function associated to the model. We also prove the almost sure (and in LpL^p for some p>1p>1) convergence of this conductance divided by its expectation towards the limit of the additive martingale.
