Degenerate random environments 101

Degenerate random environments (DRE) are a class of models of random media that arise naturally when considering random walks in non-elliptic random environments.

In this talk we will motivate and introduce this class of models, discuss percolation-type properties of some of them, and present some simple implications for random walks in non-elliptic random environments. (Based on joint work with Tom Salisbury).
