Random walk on a perturbation of the infinitely-fast mixing interchange process

Abstract

We consider a random walk in dimension d1d\geq 1 in a dynamic random environment evolving as an interchange process with rate γ>0\gamma>0. We only assume that the annealed drift is non-zero. We prove that the empirical velocity of the walker Xt/tX_t/t eventually lies in an arbitrary small ball around the annealed drift if we choose γ\gamma large enough. This statement is thus a perturbation of the case γ=+\gamma =+\infty where the environment is refreshed between each step of the walker. We extend three-way part of the results of HS15, where the environment was given by the 11 dimensional exclusion process: (i)(i) We deal with any dimension d1d\geq 1; (ii)(ii) Each particle of the interchange process carries a transition vector chosen according to an arbitrary law μ\mu; (iii)(iii) We show that Xt/tX_t/t is not only in the same direction of the annealed drift, but that it is also close to it.
