Periodic Lorentz gas with small scatterers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove limit laws for infinite horizon planar periodic Lorentz gases when, as time n tends to infinity, the scatterer size ho may also tend to zero simultaneously at a sufficiently slow pace. In particular we obtain a non-standard Central Limit Theorem as well as a Local Limit Theorem for the displacement function. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first results on an intermediate case between the two well-studied regimes with superdiffusive sqrtnlogn scaling (i) for fixed infinite horizon configurations -- letting first noinfty and then hoo0 -- studied e.g.~by Sz'asz & Varj'u (2007) and (ii) Boltzmann-Grad type situations -- letting first hoo0 and then noinfty -- studied by Marklof & T'oth (2016).
