Boundary of the Range of Transient Random Walk

Abstract

We study the boundary of the range of simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ in the transient regime $d\ge 3$. We show that volumes of the range and its boundary differ mainly by a martingale. As a consequence, we obtain a bound on the variance of order $n\log n$ in dimension three. We also establish a central limit theorem in dimension four and larger.
