Abstract: Consider a random walk in a uniformly elliptic i.i.d. random environment in dimensions $dge2$. In 2002, Sznitman introduced for each $gammain(0,1)$ the ballisticity conditions $(T{)}_{g}amma$ and $(T^{\prime }),$ the latter being defined as the fulfilment of $(T{)}_{g}amma$ for all $gammain(0,1).$ He proved that $(T^{\prime })$ implies ballisticity and that for each $gammain(0.5,1),$ $(T{)}_{g}amma$ is equivalent to $(T^{\prime })$. It is conjectured that this equivalence holds for all $gammain(0,1).$ Here we prove that for $gammain(gamm{a}_d,1),$ where $gamm{a}_d$ is a dimension dependent constant taking values in the interval $(0.366,0.388),$ $(T{)}_{g}amma$ is equivalent to $(T^{\prime }).$ This is achieved by a detour along the effective criterion, the fulfilment of which we establish by a combination of techniques developed by Sznitman giving a control on the occurrence of atypical quenched exit distributions through boxes.
