Abstract
Let {X t:≥0} denote random walk in the random waiting time model, i.e., simple random walk with jump ratew −1(X t), where {w(x):x∈ℤd} is an i.i.d. random field. We show that (under some mild conditions) theintermediate scattering function F(q,t)=E 0 \(e^{iqX_l } \) (q∈ℝd) is completely monotonic int (E 0 denotes double expectation w.r.t. walk and field). We also show that thedynamic structure factor S(q, w)=2∫ ∞0 cos(ωt)F(q, t) exists for ω≠0 and is strictly positive. Ind=1, 2 it diverges as 1/|ω|1/2, resp. −ln(|ω|), in the limit ω→0; ind≥3 its limit value is strictly larger than expected from hydrodynamics. This and further results support the conclusion that the hydrodynamic region is limited to smallq and small ω such that |ω|≫D |q|2, whereD is the diffusion constant.
