Law of large numbers for random walks on attractive spin-flip dynamics (Q2359725)

Random walks in dynamic random environment (RWDRE) are known to scale diffusively if the environment is only weakly correlated in space and time. Little is known if the pertinent correlation structure is non-uniform, although some trapping phenomena were conjectured to occur for some specific models (like, e.g., the one-dimensional exclusion process). On the other hand several models with non-uniform correlations have been shown to possess diffusive scaling limits. The major purpose of the present authors is to analyse the SLLN for random walks on certain attractive interactive particle systems (IPS), provided that the strong law does not rely on the correlation structure of the environment, but rather on the monotonicity properties of suitable functionals of the environment and of the proper walk. A larger class of models with non-uniform correlations is admitted by this procedure, then previous approaches could accommodate. Large deviation estimates for the random walk are provided and trapping phenomena are excluded. An example of the IPS needed to this end is the supercritical contact process, and hence the random walk on the contact process, serving as a model system with non-unifom correlation structure.
