Localization and number of visited valleys for a transient diffusion in random environment

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider a transient diffusion in a (−κ/2)(-κ/2)-drifted Brownian potential W_κW\_κ with $0\textless{}κ\textless{}1$. We prove its localization at time tt in the neighborhood of some random points depending only on the environment, which are the positive h_th\_t-minima of the environment, for h_th\_t a bit smaller than log⁡t\log t. We also prove an Aging phenomenon for the diffusion, a renewal theorem for the hitting time of the farthest visited valley, and provide a central limit theorem for the number of valleys visited up to time tt. The proof relies on a decomposition of the trajectory of W_κW\_κ in the neighborhood of h_th\_t-minima, with the help of results of A. Faggionato, and on a precise analysis of exponential functionals of W_κW\_κ and of W_κW\_κ Doob-conditioned to stay positive.
