Propriétés d'intersection des marches aléatoires. II: Étude des cas critiques. (Properties of intersection of random walks. II: Study of the critical case) (Q1086918)

[For part I see the foregoing review, Zbl 0609.60078.] Let \(I_ n\) denote the number of common points to the paths, up to time n, of two independent random walks with values in \({\mathbb{Z}}^ 4\). The sequence (log n)\({}^{-1}I_ n\) is shown to converge in distribution towards the square of a normal variable. Limit theorems are also proved for some processes related to the sequence \((I_ n)\), which lead to a better understanding of recent results obtained by \textit{G. F. Lawler} [ibid. 97, 583-594 (1985; Zbl 0585.60069)]. Similar statements are proved for the paths of three independent random walks with values in \({\mathbb{Z}}^ 3\).
