We focus on a model in which the particles perform nearest neighbour random walks which are balanced in all but one direction. This gives a model with two parameters. We present conditions on the parameters for recurrence and transience, revealing interesting differences between dimension $d=2$ and dimension $d \\geq 3$. Our proofs make use of (refined) couplings with branching random walks for the transience, and with percolation for the recurrence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-31T18:46:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "recurrence", "transience", "particles perform nearest neighbour random", "perform nearest neighbour random walks", "frog model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
