Abstract

We reveal a shape transition for a transient simple random walk forced to realize an excess qq-norm of the local times, as the parameter qq crosses the value qc(d)=dd2q_c(d)=\frac{d}{d-2}. Also, as an application of our approach, we establish a central limit theorem for the qq-norm of the local times in dimension 4 or more.
