Random walk on the range of random walk

Abstract

We study the random walk XX on the range of a simple random walk on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d in dimensions d4d\geq 4. When d5d\geq 5 we establish quenched and annealed scaling limits for the process XX, which show that the intersections of the original simple random walk path are essentially unimportant. For d=4d=4 our results are less precise, but we are able to show that any scaling limit for XX will require logarithmic corrections to the polynomial scaling factors seen in higher dimensions. Furthermore, we demonstrate that when d=4d=4 similar logarithmic corrections are necessary in describing the asymptotic behaviour of the return probability of XX to the origin.
