Abstract

Let X={Xt:t0,X0=0}\mathcal X=\{\mathcal X_t:\, t\geq0,\, \mathcal X_0=0\} be a mean zero β\beta-stable random walk on Z\mathbb{Z} with inhomogeneous jump rates {τi1:iZ}\{\tau_i^{-1}: i\in\mathbb{Z}\}, with β(1,2]\beta\in(1,2] and {τi:iZ}\{\tau_i: i\in\mathbb{Z}\} a family of independent random variables with common marginal distribution in the basin of attraction of an α\alpha-stable law, α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1). In this paper we derive results about the long time behavior of this process, in particular its scaling limit, given by a β\beta-stable process time-changed by the inverse of another process, involving the local time of the β\beta-stable process and an independent α\alpha-stable subordinator; we call the resulting process a quasistable process. Another such result concerns aging. We obtain an (integrated) aging result for X\mathcal X.
