Abstract
Attributing a positive value ?x to each x ∈ ℤd , we investigate a nearest-neighbour random walk which is reversible for the measure with weights (τx ), often known as "Bouchaud's trap model."We assume that these weights are independent, identically distributed and non-integrable random variables (with polynomial tail), and that d ≥ 5.We obtain the quenched subdiffusive scaling limit of the model, the limit being the fractional kinetics process. We begin our proof by expressing the random walk as the time change of a random walk among random conductances. We then focus on proving that the time change converges, under the annealed measure, to a stable subordinator. This is achieved using previous results concerning the mixing properties of the environment viewed by the time-changed random walk.
