Under the quenched law (i.e., conditioned on the environment), we show that no limit laws are possible. In particular we show that there exist sequences {t_k} and {t_k'} depending on the environment only, such that a quenched central limit theorem holds along the subsequence t_k, but the quenched limiting distribution along the subsequence t_k' is a centered reverse exponential distribution. This complements the results of a recent paper of Peterson and Zeitouni (arXiv:0704.1778v1 [math.PR]) which handled the case when the parameter $s\\in(0,1)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-08-04T22:03:53.000Z", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2016-06-11T02:51:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K37", "60F05", "82C41", "82D30" ], "keywords": [ "sub-gaussian one-dimensional random walk", "random environment", "quenched limits", "quenched central limit theorem holds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0708.0649P" } } }
