    Non-trivial linear bounds for a random walk driven by a simple symmetric exclusion process
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Soares dos Santos, Renato
    Linear bounds are obtained for the displacement of a random walk in a dynamic random environment given by a one-dimensional simple symmetric exclusion process in equilibrium. The proof uses an adaptation of multiscale renormalization methods of Kesten and Sidoravicius.

    Zero-one law for directional transience of one-dimensional random walks in dynamic random environments
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Orenshtein, Tal; Santos, Renato Soares dos
    We prove the trichotomy between transience to the right, transience to the left and recurrence of one-dimensional nearest-neighbour random walks in dynamic random environments under fairly general assumptions, namely: stationarity under space-time translations, ergodicity under spatial translations, and a mild ellipticity condition. In particular, the result applies to general uniformly elliptic models and also to a large class of non-uniformly elliptic cases that are i.i.d. in space and Markovian in time.

    Random walk on random walks: Low densities
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Blondel, Oriane; Hilário, Marcelo R.; Santos, Renato dos; Sidoravicius, Vladas; Teixeira, Augusto
    We consider a random walker in a dynamic random environment given by a system of independent simple symmetric random walks. We obtain ballisticity results under two types of perturbations: low particle density, and strong local drift on particles. Surprisingly, the random walker may behave very differently depending on whether the underlying environment particles perform lazy or non-lazy random walks, which is related to a notion of permeability of the system. We also provide a strong law of large numbers, a functional central limit theorem and large deviation bounds under an ellipticity condition.

    Random walk on random walks: Higher dimensions
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Blondel, Oriane; Hilário, Marcelo R.; Santos, Renato Soares dos; Sidoravicius, Vladas; Teixeira, Augusto
    We study the evolution of a random walker on a conservative dynamic random environment composed of independent particles performing simple symmetric random walks, generalizing results of [16] to higher dimensions and more general transition kernels without the assumption of uniform ellipticity or nearest-neighbour jumps. Specifically, we obtain a strong law of large numbers, a functional central limit theorem and large deviation estimates for the position of the random walker under the annealed law in a high density regime. The main obstacle is the intrinsic lack of monotonicity in higher-dimensional, non-nearest neighbour settings. Here we develop more general renormalization and renewal schemes that allow us to overcome this issue. As a second application of our methods, we provide an alternative proof of the ballistic behaviour of the front of (the discrete-time version of) the infection model introduced in [23].
