Self-Intersection Times for Random Walk, and Random Walk in Random Scenery in dimensions d>4

Probability 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We consider Random Walk in Random Scenery, denoted XnX_n, where the random walk is symmetric on ZdZ^d, with d>4d>4, and the random field is made up of i.i.d random variables with a stretched exponential tail decay, with exponent α\alpha with 1<α1<\alpha. We present asymptotics for the probability, over both randomness, that {Xn>nβ}\{X_n>n^{\beta}\} for 1/2<β<11/2<\beta<1. To obtain such asymptotics, we establish large deviations estimates for the the self-intersection local times process.
