Scaling of sub-ballistic 1D Random Walks among biased Random Conductances

Probability 2017-11-15 v1

Abstract

We consider two models of one-dimensional random walks among biased i.i.d. random conductances: the first is the classical exponential tilt of the conductances, while the second comes from the effect of adding an external field to a random walk on a point process (the bias depending on the distance between points). We study the case when the walk is transient to the right but sub-ballistic, and identify the correct scaling of the random walk: we find α[0,1]\alpha \in[0,1] such that logXn/lognα\log X_n / \log n \to \alpha. Interestingly, α\alpha does not depend on the intensity of the bias in the first case, but it does in the second case.
