Polynomial bound for the localization length of Lorentz mirror model on the 1D cylinder

Abstract: We consider the Lorentz mirror model and the Manhattan model on the even-width cylinder $\mathbb{Z} \times (\mathbb{Z}/2n\mathbb{Z}) ={(x,y):x,y\in \mathbb{Z}, 1\leq y\leq 2n}$. For both models, we show that for large enough $n$, with high probability, any trajectory of light starting from the section $x=0$ is contained in the region $|x|\leq O(n^{10})$.
