Strong approximations in a charged-polymer model

Probability 2009-11-23 v1

Abstract

We study the large-time behavior of the charged-polymer Hamiltonian HnH_n of Kantor and Kardar [Bernoulli case] and Derrida, Griffiths, and Higgs [Gaussian case], using strong approximations to Brownian motion. Our results imply, among other things, that in one dimension the process {H[nt]}0t1\{H_{[nt]}\}_{0\le t\le 1} behaves like a Brownian motion, time-changed by the intersection local-time process of an independent Brownian motion. Chung-type LILs are also discussed.
