Later, Zerner provided a simplified proof. We extend the result to non-planar i.i.d. random walks in random environments on $\\Z^2$ with bounded jumps. As an application, we complete a characterization of directional transience (for a given direction) for random walks in Dirichlet environments with bounded jumps in all dimensions. Such a characterization was previously known for the nearest-neighbor case of Dirichlet environments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-25T18:36:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G50", "60J10", "60K37" ], "keywords": [ "random environments", "bounded jumps", "zero-one law", "directional transience", "dirichlet environments" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
