Recurrence and transience of excited random walks on $\Z^d$ and strips

Abstract

We investigate excited random walks on Zd,d1,\Z^d, d\ge 1, and on planar strips Z×{0,1,...,L1}\Z\times\{0,1,...,L-1\} which have a drift in a given direction. The strength of the drift may depend on a random i.i.d. environment and on the local time of the walk. We give exact criteria for recurrence and transience, thus generalizing results by Benjamini and Wilson for once-excited random walk on Zd\Z^d and by the author for multi-excited random walk on Z\Z.
