Abstract: We consider a discrete time biased random walk conditioned to avoid Bernoulli obstacles on mathbbZd (dgeq2) up to time N. This model is known to undergo a phase transition: for a large bias, the walk is ballistic whereas for a small bias, it is sub-ballistic. We prove that in the sub-ballistic phase, the random walk is contained in a ball of radius O(N1/(d+2)), which is the same scale as for the unbiased case. As an intermediate step, we also prove large deviation principles for the endpoint distribution for the unbiased random walk at scales between N1/(d+2) and o(Nd/(d+2)). These results improve and complement earlier work by Sznitman [Ann. Sci. Ecole Norm. Sup. (4), 28(3):345--370, 371--390, 1995].
