AbstractIn this paper we prove a quenched functional central limit theorem for a biased random walk on a supercritical Galton–Watson tree with leaves. This extends a result of Peres and Zeitouni (2008) where the case without leaves was considered. A conjecture of Ben Arous and Fribergh (2016) suggests an upper bound on the bias which we observe to be sharp.

In [1], the authors consider a random walk (Zn,1, . . ., Zn,K+1) ∈ ${\mathbb{Z}}$K+1 with the constraint that each coordinate of the walk is at distance one from the following coordinate. A functional central limit theorem for the first coordinate is proved and the limit variance is explicited. In this paper, we study an extended version of this model by conditioning the extremal coordinates to be at some fixed distance at every time. We prove a functional central limit theorem for this random walk. Using combinatorial tools, we give a precise formula of the variance and compare it with that obtained in [1].

Abstract Let (Wn(θ))n∈ℕ0 be the Biggins martingale associated with a supercritical branching random walk, and denote by W_∞(θ) its limit. Assuming essentially that the martingale (Wn(2θ))n∈ℕ0 is uniformly integrable and that var W1(θ) is finite, we prove a functional central limit theorem for the tail process (W∞(θ)-Wn+r(θ))r∈ℕ0 and a law of the iterated logarithm for W∞(θ)-Wn(θ) as n→∞.
