Abstract: We review some old and prove some new results on the survival probability of a random walk among a Poisson system of moving traps on Z^d, which can also be interpreted as the solution of a parabolic Anderson model with a random time-dependent potential. We show that the annealed survival probability decays asymptotically as e^{-lambda_1sqrt{t}} for d=1, as e^{-lambda_2 t/log t} for d=2, and as e^{-lambda_d t} for d>= 3, where lambda_1 and lambda_2 can be identified explicitly. In addition, we show that the quenched survival probability decays asymptotically as e^{- ilde lambda_d t}, with ilde lambda_d>0 for all d>= 1. A key ingredient in bounding the annealed survival probability is what is known in the physics literature as the Pascal principle, which asserts that the annealed survival probability is maximized if the random walk stays at a fixed position. A corollary of independent interest is that the expected cardinality of the range of a continuous time symmetric random walk increases under perturbation by a deterministic path.
