For $d\\geq 2$ and $\\mathsf{p}$ strictly above the critical threshold for site percolation, we condition on the environment where the origin is contained in an infinite cluster of non-obstacles; we show that for environments with probability tending to 1 as $n\\to \\infty$, conditioning on survival after $n$ steps the simple random walk is localized in a region of size poly-logarithmic in $n$ with probability tending to 1 as $n\\to \\infty$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-03-20T18:52:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K37", "60H25", "60G70" ], "keywords": [ "random obstacles", "poly-logarithmic localization", "simple random walk", "site percolation", "environment" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
