Full distribution of the number of distinct sites visited by a random walker in dimension $d \ge 2$
We study the full distribution $P_M(S)$ of the number of distinct sites $S$ visited by a random walker on a $d$-dimensional lattice after $M$ steps. We focus on the case $d \ge 2$, and we are interested in the long-time limit $M \gg 1$. Our primary interest is the behavior of the right and left tails of $P_M(S)$, corresponding to $S$ larger and smaller than its mean value, respectively. We present theoretical arguments that predict that in the right tail, a standard large-deviation principle (L…
