Description

n the talk I will discuss motion in an environment, where each location only allows motion at random discrete time points separated by power law distributed random time intervals. As an example one can think of a network of bus or train routes with erratic arrival times. We find that for heavy-tailed power laws the motion through the environment becomes logarithmicly slow. Surprisingly the uncertainty in the location grows slower than the relative position. The original motivation of the work was the study of single files of subdiffusive continuous time random walkers. In the talk I will present scaling arguments for the mean square displacement of a tagged particle in such a file.
