On the Zero-One Law and the Law of Large Numbers for Random Walk in Mixing Random Environment

Firas Rassoul-Agha, Ohio State University, USA


Abstract
We prove a weak version of the law of large numbers for multi-dimensional finite range random walks in certain mixing elliptic random environments. This already improves previously existing results, where a law of large numbers was known only under strong enough transience. We also prove that for such walks the zero-one law implies a law of large numbers.
