Scaling limits of Maximal Entropy Random Walks on a non-negative integer lattice perturbed at the origin

Résumé

We investigate random walks on the integer lattice perturbed at the origin which maximize the entropy along the path or equivalently the entropy rate. Compared to usual simple random walks which maximize the entropy locally, those are a complete paradigm shift. For finite graph, they have been introduced as such by Physicists in [BDLW09] and they enjoy strong localization properties in heterogeneous environments. We first give an extended definition of such random walks when the graph is infinite. They are not always uniquely defined contrary to the finite situation. Then we introduce our model and we show there is a phase transition phenomenon according with the magnitude of the perturbation. We obtain either Bessel-like or asymmetric random walks and we study there scaling limits. In the subcritical situation, we get the classical three-dimensional Bessel process whereas in the supercritical one we get a recurrent reflected drifted Brownian motion. We produce a unify proof relying on the equivalence between submartingale problems and reflected stochastic differential equations obtained in [KR17]. Finally, we remark that applying our results to a couple of particles subject to the famous Pauli exclusion principle, we can recover the electrostatic force assuming only the maximal entropy principle. Also, we briefly explain how to retrieve those results in the macroscopic situation without go through the microscopic one by using the Kullback-Leibler divergence and the Girsanov theorem.
