Sharp ellipticity conditions for ballistic behavior of random walks in random environment

Probability 2016-02-08 v3

Abstract

We sharpen ellipticity criteria for random walks in i.i.d. random environments introduced by Campos and Ram\'{\i}rez which ensure ballistic behavior. Furthermore, we construct new examples of random environments for which the walk satisfies the polynomial ballisticity criteria of Berger, Drewitz and Ram\'{\i}rez. As a corollary, we can exhibit a new range of values for the parameters of Dirichlet random environments in dimension d=2d=2 under which the corresponding random walk is ballistic.
