An important excited random walk counter-example (1909.03159v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we give a detailed construction of an example of excited random walk with speed zero in an ergodic random environment that have an infinite average number of cookies in each site. This example confirms that a result of Mountford, Pimentel and Valle (2006), which gives a sufficient condition for excited random walks in deterministic environment to have positive speed, can not be extended to ergodic random environment.
