Large deviations for random walks in random environment on a Galton-Watson tree

Probability 2011-01-11 v1

Abstract

Consider a random walk in random environment on a supercritical Galton--Watson tree, and let τn\tau_n be the hitting time of generation nn. The paper presents a large deviation principle for τn/n\tau_n/n, both in quenched and annealed cases. Then we investigate the subexponential situation, revealing a polynomial regime similar to the one encountered in one dimension. The paper heavily relies on estimates on the tail distribution of the first regeneration time.
