Conditional and uniform quenched CLTs for one-dimensional random walks among random conductances
Abstract
We study a one-dimensional random walk among random conductances, with unbounded jumps. Assuming the ergodicity of the collection of conductances and a few other technical conditions (uniform ellipticity and polynomial bounds on the tails of the jumps) we prove a quenched conditional invariance principle for the random walk, under the condition that it remains positive until time n. As a corollary of this result, we study the effect of conditioning the random walk to exceed level n before returning to 0 as n ∞. One of the main tools for proving these conditional limit laws is the uniform quenched functional Central Limit Theorem, that states that the convergence is uniform with respect to the starting point, provided that the starting point is chosen in a certain interval around the origin.
