Discrete fractals determined by recurrent random walks (Q1895533)

The authors announce the following result. If \((X_n)\) is a recurrent random walk in \(\mathbb{Z}^d\), its distribution in the domain of attraction of a stable law of index \(1< \alpha\leq 2\), which has zero mean, then its special zero set \[ A= A(\omega)= \{n\geq 1\mid X_n(\omega)= 0\} \] as a subset of \(\mathbb{Z}\) has a.s. fractal index \(1- {1\over \alpha}\), i.e., \[ \dim_H(A)= \dim_P(A)= 1-\textstyle{{1\over \alpha}}, \] where \(\dim_H\) and \(\dim_P\) denote the discrete Hausdorff resp. packing dimension of Barlow and Taylor.
