Let X={Xi,i≥1} be a sequence of real valued random variables, S0=0 and Sk=∑i=1kXi  (k≥1). Let σ={σ(x),x∈Z} be a sequence of real valued random variables which are independent of X’s. Denote by Kn=∑k=0nσ(⌊Sk⌋)  (n≥0) Kesten-Spitzer random walk in random scenery, where ⌊a⌋ means the unique integer satisfying ⌊a⌋≤a<⌊a⌋+1. It is assumed that σ’s belong to the domain of attraction of a stable law with index 0<β<2. In this paper, by employing conditional argument, we investigate large deviation inequalities, some sufficient conditions for Chover-type laws of the iterated logarithm and the cluster set for random walk in random scenery Kn. The obtained results supplement to some corresponding results in the literature.

AbstractWe consider a random walk on the affine group of the real line, we denote by P the corresponding Markov operator on $\mathbb {R}$, and we study the Birkhoff sums associated with its trajectories. We show that, depending on the parameters of the random walk, the normalized Birkhoff sums converge in law to a stable law of exponent α∈ ]0,2[ or to a normal law. The corresponding analysis is based on the spectral properties of two families of associated transfer operators Pt,Tt. The operator Pt is a Fourier operator and is considered here as a perturbation of the Markov operator P=P0 of the random walk. The operator Tt is related to Pt by a symmetry of Heisenberg type and is also considered as a perturbation of the Markov operator T0=T. We prove that these operators have an isolated dominant eigenvalue which has an asymptotic expansion involving fractional powers of t. The parameters of this expansion have simple expressions in terms of tails and moments of the stationary measures of P and T.

It is shown that, under certain conditions, satisfied by stable distributions, symmetric distributions, distributions with zero mean and finite second moment and other distributions, the distribution function of the maxima of successive partial sums of identically distributed random variables has an asymptotic property. This property implies the regular variation of the tail of the distribution of the hitting times of the associated random walk, and hence that these hitting times belong to the domain of attraction of a stable law.
