We study a continuous-time random walk on thed-dimensional lattice, subject to a drift and an attraction to large clusters of a subcritical Bernoulli site percolation. We find two distinct regimes: a ballistic one, and a subballistic one taking place when the attraction is strong enough. We identify the speed in the former case, and the algebraic rate of escape in the latter case. Finally, we discuss the diffusive behavior in the case of zero drift and weak attraction.

Self-attracting walk (SATW) on non-uniform substrates has been investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. The non-uniform substrates are described by Leath percolation clusters with occupied probability p. p stands for the degree of non-uniformity, and takes on values in the range pc≲p ≤1 where pc is the threshold of percolation. For the case of strong attractive interaction u, p has little influence on the walk which is dominated by attractive interactions. Furthermore, in the case of small scales, the exponent ν of the mean end-to-end distance <R2(t)> versus time t is given by ν≃1/(ds+1), while the exponent k of visited sites versus t is given by k≃ds/(ds+1), where ds are the fractal dimensions of the substrates. For u ≃ 0, the walk reduces to the random walk on percolations with p in pc≲p≤1. Also, ν and k decrease sensitively with the reduction of p. It is found, the blocked sites in the substrates (i.e. defects) have much greater influence on the walk driven by thermal flunctuation than that dominated by the attractive interaction.

We study a continuous-time random walk on the d-dimensional lattice, subject to a drift and an attraction to large clusters of a subcritical Bernoulli site percolation. We find two distinct regimes: a ballistic one, and a subballistic one taking place when the attraction is strong enough. We identify the speed in the former case, and the algebraic rate of escape in the latter case. Finally, we discuss the diffusive behavior in the case of zero drift and weak attraction.

International audience Benjamini, Lyons and Schramm (1999) considered properties of an infinite graph $G$, and the simple random walk on it, that are preserved by random perturbations. To address problems raised by those authors, we study simple random walk on the infinite percolation cluster in Cayley graphs of certain amenable groups known as "lamplighter groups''.We prove that zero speed for random walk on a lamplighter group implies zero speed for random walk on an infinite cluster, for any supercritical percolation parameter $p$. For $p$ large enough, we also establish the converse. We prove that if $G$ has a positive anchored expansion constant then so does every infinite cluster of independent percolation with parameter $p$ sufficiently close to 1; We also show that positivity of the anchored expansion constant is preserved under a random stretch if, and only if, the stretching law has an exponential tail.
