2009 Probability Seminar - 03

Lecturer(s):
Martin Barlow (UBC)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
Convergence of random walk in random environment to fractional kinetic motion
Description:
I will consider a random walk in random environment obtained by putting
iid bond weights $\mu_e$ on the bonds in the lattice $Z^d$.(Here $d\ge
3$). We assume $\mu_e \ge 1$, but have heavy tails: $P(\mu_e > t)
\sim t^{-\alpha}$ with $\alpha \in (0,1)$. This process, when suitably
rescaled, converges to a non Markovian process, called 'fractional
kinetic motion'. This is joint work with J. Cerny.
