<span> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">RWRE (Random Walk in Random Environment) is a
classical model for particles moving in a non-homogeneous medium presenting
impurities.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%" lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US">It consists of a random walk on a
graph with random transition probabilities determined by an underlying (static)
field of random variables. The long term behavior of RWRE is well-understood,
at least on the one-dimensional integer lattice, where trapping effects due to
the spatial non-homogeneities lead to very different results than for a
standard homogeneous random walk (e.g. non-local recurrence criterion,
transient sub-ballistic regimes, anomalous diffusions, sub-exponential large
deviations, aging). </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%" lang="EN-US"><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span lang="EN-US">In this
talk we are interested in perturbing the underlying static random environment
by repeatedly re-sampling it from a given law along a sequence of prescribed
times, the so-called cooling sequence. This perturbation makes the environment
dynamic and the resulting model, recently introduced in the literature,
is referred to as RWCRE (Random Walk in Cooling Random Environment).</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%" lang="EN-US"><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span lang="EN-US">Depending
on the choice of the cooling sequence, RWCRE may present strong homogenization
as for a homogeneous Random Walk, or can lead to strong trapping effects as for
RWRE. A surprisingly rich palette of possible limit scenarios have been
explored in a series of recent papers and ongoing works on the one-dimensional
lattice. I plan to give an account of these results and related techniques.
Particular emphasis will be given to fluctuations and scaling limits where
crossovers and mixtures of different laws emerge as a function of the structure
of the cooling sequence.<span></span></span></p>
