Asymptotic direction for random walks in random environments

Abstract: In this paper we study the property of asymptotic direction for random walks in random i.i.d. environments (RWRE). We prove that if the set of directions where the walk is transient is non empty and open, the walk admits an asymptotic direction. The main tool to obtain this result is the construction of a renewal structure with cones. We also prove that RWRE admits at most two opposite asymptotic directions.Comment: revised versio

“…-The theorem does actually not depend on the graph structure of Z d besides translation invariance, meaning that the result also holds for non nearest neighbour models: we may enable V to be any finite subset of Z d , and the proof is written in such a way that it covers this case. The same is true for the main results of [Bo12] and [Si07] with little modification, hence the corollary also generalizes in this way in dimension ≥ 3. The intersection property for planar walks used in [ZeMe01] may however fail if jumps are allowed in such a way that the graph is not anymore planar.…”

“…Transience in the direction l implies that τ 1 is P 0 -a.s. finite, see [SZ99]. Due to (i), (T ) γ |l implies that condition (a) of Theorem 1 in [Sim07] is fulfilled. Hence we have the existence of an asymptotic directionv ∈ S d−1 , i.e.…”
