Power-law decay of weights and recurrence of the two-dimensional VRJP

Abstract: The vertex-reinforced jump process (VRJP) is a form of self-interacting random walk in which the walker is biased towards returning to previously visited vertices with the bias depending linearly on the local time at these vertices. We prove that, for any initial bias, the weights sampled from the magic formula on a two-dimensional graph decay at least at a power-law rate. Via arguments of Sabot and Zeng, the result implies that the VRJP is recurrent in two dimensions for any initial bias.

“…This basic (and somewhat vague) approach has been key in many proofs of the Mermin-Wagner theorem in statistical physics, including [18,33,19,39,41,34], [22,Theorem 9.2] and [38, Section 2.6]), whence the name, but has also been used in other contexts, e.g. in [42,12,30,21]. Our treatment here draws inspiration from [39,41,34,30] and has the benefit of providing Gaussian lower bounds on the tail probabilities.…”

“…In this case, when d ∈ {1, 2}, the VRJP is always recurrent. (See [SZ19], [Sab21] and [KP21].) On the contrary, when d ≥ 3, Sabot and Tarrès proved in [ST15] that the time-changed VRJP is recurrent for small W and that it is transient for large W .…”
