Abstract
We consider excited random walk (ERW) on in environments with identical stacks of infinitely many cookies at each site, subject to the constraint that the total drift per site is finite. Building on the methods of Kozma, Orenshtein, and Shinkar (arXiv:1311.7439), we show that ERW in finite-drift environments is recurrent when and transient when . In the case we prove that ERW is recurrent under mild assumptions on the environment. In addition, we show that ERW may be transient when , an interesting new behavior that was not present in previously studied models.
