Abstract:
We consider two random walks conditioned “never to intersect” in Z^2. We show that each of them has infinitely many `global' cut times with probability one. In fact, we prove that the number of global cut times up to n grows like n^{3/8}. Next we consider the union of their trajectories to be a random subgraph of Z^2 and show the subdiffusivity of the simple random walk on this graph.
