Random Walks on Disordered Media and their Scaling Limits École d'Été de Probabilités de Saint-Flour XL - 2010

In these lecture notes, we will analyze the behavior of random walk on disordered media by means of both probabilistic and analytic methods, and will study the scaling limits. We will focus on the discrete potential theory and how the theory is effectively used in the analysis of disordered media. T...
