arXiv: 1905.05974 · 2020-10-26

## TL;DR

This paper investigates the localization behavior of vertex reinforced random walks on integers, aiming to characterize conditions under which the walk localizes on five sites with positive probability.

## Contribution

It offers partial results towards a complete characterization of weights leading to localization on five sites and proposes conjectures on the almost sure behavior.

## Key findings

- Partial characterization of weights for localization on 5 sites
- Conjecture on almost sure localization behavior
- Progress towards a full theoretical understanding

## Abstract

We continue the investigation of the localization phenomenon for a Vertex Reinforced Random Walk on the integer lattice. We provide some partial results towards a full characterization of the weights for which localization on 5 sites occurs with positive probability, and make some conjecture concerning the almost sure behavior.
