Einstein relation for random walk in a one-dimensional percolation model

Probability 2019-06-26 v1

Abstract

We consider random walks on the infinite cluster of a conditional bond percolation model on the infinite ladder graph. In a companion paper, we have shown that if the random walk is pulled to the right by a positive bias λ>0\lambda > 0, then its asymptotic linear speed v\overline{\mathrm{v}} is continuous in the variable λ>0\lambda > 0 and differentiable for all sufficiently small λ>0\lambda > 0. In the paper at hand, we complement this result by proving that v\overline{\mathrm{v}} is differentiable at λ=0\lambda = 0. Further, we show the Einstein relation for the model, i.e., that the derivative of the speed at λ=0\lambda = 0 equals the diffusivity of the unbiased walk.
