Weak subordination breaking for the quenched trap model
Abstract
We map the problem of diffusion in the quenched trap model onto a new stochastic process: Brownian motion which is terminated at the coverage "time" with being the number of visits to site . Here is a measure of the disorder in the original model. This mapping allows us to treat the intricate correlations in the underlying random walk in the random environment. The operational "time" is changed to laboratory time with a L\'evy time transformation. Investigation of Brownian motion stopped at "time" yields the diffusion front of the quenched trap model which is favorably compared with numerical simulations. In the zero temperature limit of we recover the renormalization group solution obtained by C. Monthus. Our theory surmounts critical slowing down which is found when . Above the critical dimension two mapping the problem to a continuous time random walk becomes feasible though still not trivial.
