Differentiability of the speed of biased random walks on Galton-Watson trees

Probability 2020-05-04 v2

Abstract

We prove that the speed of a λ\lambda-biased random walk on a supercritical Galton-Watson tree is differentiable for λ\lambda such that the walk is ballistic and obeys a central limit theorem, and give an expression of the derivative using a certain 22-dimensional Gaussian random variable. The proof heavily uses the renewal structure of Galton-Watson trees that was introduced by Lyons-Pemantle-Peres.
