The conjectured lower bound for the centre-of-mass escape rate
The conjectured lower bound for the centre-of-mass escape rate
Let be the increment random variable of the random walk in , and let denote its centre of mass after steps. Assume that the support of is not contained in a one-dimensional subspace of . Escape-rate conjecture. Almost surely,
Obtaining necessary and sufficient conditions for recurrence and transience of is stated to be an open problem; this conjecture asserts that in dimensions at least two the centre of mass is at least as transient as in the established diffusive-rate theorem.
