Anomalous diffusion of random walk on random planar maps

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We prove that the simple random walk on the uniform infinite planar triangulation (UIPT) typically travels graph distance at most n1/4+on(1) in n units of time. Together with the complementary lower bound proven by Gwynne and Miller (2017) this shows that the typical graph distance displacement of the walk after n steps is n1/4+on(1), as conjectured by Benjamini and Curien (2013). More generally, we show that the simple random walks on a certain family of random planar maps in the gamma-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) universality class for gammain(0,2)---including spanning tree-weighted maps, bipolar-oriented maps, and mated-CRT maps---typically travels graph distance n1/dgamma+on(1) in n units of time, where dgamma is the growth exponent for the volume of a metric ball on the map, which was shown to exist and depend only on gamma by Ding and Gwynne (2018). Since dgamma>2, this shows that the simple random walk on each of these maps is subdiffusive. Our proofs are based on an embedding of the random planar maps under consideration into mathbbC wherein graph distance balls can be compared to Euclidean balls modulo subpolynomial errors. This embedding arises from a coupling of the given random planar map with a mated-CRT map together with the relationship of the latter map to SLE-decorated LQG.
