This is a continuous family of random walks, {S_n(t)}. Benjamini et. al. proved that if d=3 or d=4 then there is an exceptional set of t such that {S_n(t)} returns to the origin infinitely often. In this paper we consider a dynamical random walk on Z^2. We show that with probability one there exists t such that {S_n(t)} never returns to the origin. This exceptional set of times has dimension one. This proves a conjecture of Benjamini et. al.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-03-03T19:03:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "simple random walk", "dynamical random walk", "dynamically sensitive", "recurrence", "exceptional set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......3065H" } } }
