Environment viewed from the particle and slowdown for ballistic RWRE in low dimensions

We consider a random walk in a random environment on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ under ballisticity condition $(T)$. We show the existence of the invariant measure $Q$ with respect to the environment viewed from the particle for $d=2$ and $d=3$, which disproves a conjecture made in arXiv:1405.6819 regarding the two-dimensional case. We also prove tail estimates for the Radon-Nikodym derivative $dQ/dP$, where $P$ is the original distribution on the environment. Lastly, we provide nearly sharp tail bounds for regeneration times for $d=3$.

Chemical Distance for the Level Sets of the Gaussian Free Field

We consider the Gaussian free field $φ$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d \geq 3$ and study the level sets $\{φ\geq h \}$ in the percolating regime. We prove upper and lower bounds for the probability that the chemical distance is much larger than Euclidean distance. Our proof uses a renormalization scheme combined with a bootstrap argument.

Moderate deviations for the self-normalized random walk in random scenery

Let $G$ be an infinite connected graph with vertex set $V$. Let $\{S_n: n \in \mathbb N_0 \}$ be the simple random walk on $G$ and let $\{ ξ(v) : v \in V \}$ be a collection of i.i.d. random variables which are independent of the random walk. Define the random walk in random scenery as $T_n = \sum_{k=0}^n ξ(S_k)$, and the normalization variables $V_n = (\sum_{k=0}^n ξ^2(S_k))^{1/2}$ and $L_{n,2} = (\sum_{v \in V} \ell^2_n(v))^{1/2}$. For $G= \mathbb Z^d$ and $G = \mathbb T_d$, the $d$-ary tree, we provide large deviations results for the self-normalized process $T_n \sqrt{n}/(L_{n,2}V_n)$ under only finite moment assumptions on the scenery.
