Abstract: Let mathcalT be a supercritical Galton-Watson tree with a bounded offspring distribution that has mean mu>1, conditioned to survive. Let varphimathcalT be a random embedding of mathcalT into mathbbZd according to a simple random walk step distribution. Let mathcalTp be percolation on mathcalT with parameter p, and let pc=mu1 be the critical percolation parameter. We consider a random walk (Xn)nge1 on mathcalTp and investigate the behavior of the embedded process varphimathcalTp(Xn) as noinfty and simultaneously, mathcalTp becomes critical, that is, p=pnsearrowpc. We show that when we scale time by n/(pnpc)3 and space by sqrt(pnpc)/n, the process (varphimathcalTp(Xn))nge1 converges to a d-dimensional Brownian motion. We argue that this scaling can be seen as an interpolation between the scaling of random walk on a static random tree and the anomalous scaling of processes in critical random environments.
