Conjecture on the displacement of a biased random walk on a tree
Conjecture on the displacement of a biased random walk on a tree
Let be the random walk in a random environment on a tree, let denote the distance of the walk from the root, and let be the governing probability measure. Assume
. Displacement conjecture. Under , on the set of non-extinction, converges weakly to a limit law which is finite and strictly positive. This conjecture concerns the position of the walk at time , whose order of magnitude is stated to be unknown, while the maximum displacement up to time has order of magnitude . The source presents the claim as an expectation and gives no resolution.
