Abstract

We give a complete classification of scaling limits of randomly trapped random walks and associated clock processes on Zd\mathbb Z^d, d2d\ge 2. Namely, under the hypothesis that the discrete skeleton of the randomly trapped random walk has a slowly varying return probability, we show that the scaling limit of its clock process is either deterministic linearly growing or a stable subordinator. In the case when the discrete skeleton is a simple random walk on Zd\mathbb Z^d, this implies that the scaling limit of the randomly trapped random walk is either Brownian motion or the Fractional Kinetics process, as conjectured in [BCCR13].
