We consider random walk and self-avoiding walk whose 1-step distribution is given by $D$, and oriented percolation whose bond-occupation probability is proportional to $D$. Suppose that $D(x)$ decays as $|x|^{-d-alpha}$ with $alpha>0$. For random walk in any dimension $d$ and for self-avoiding walk and critical/subcritical oriented percolation above the common upper-critical dimension $d_{mathrm{c}}equiv2(alphawedge2)$, we prove large-$t$ asymptotics of the gyration radius, which is the average end-to-end distance of random walk/self-avoiding walk of length $t$ or the average spatial size of an oriented percolation cluster at time $t$. This proves the conjecture for long-range self-avoiding walk in [Ann. Inst. H. Poincar{e} Probab. Statist. (2010), to appear] and for long-range oriented percolation in [Probab. Theory Related Fields 142 (2008) 151--188] and [Probab. Theory Related Fields 145 (2009) 435--458].

We consider self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model with long and finite range. By means of the lace expansion we prove mean-field behavior for these models if $d>2(alphawedge2)$ for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model, and $d>3(alphawedge2)$ for percolation, where $d$ denotes the dimension and $alpha$ the power-law decay exponent of the coupling function. We provide a simplified analysis of the lace expansion based on the trigonometric approach in Borgs et al. (2007)
We consider a long-range version of self-avoiding walk in dimension $d > 2(alpha wedge 2)$, where $d$ denotes dimension and $alpha$ the power-law decay exponent of the coupling function. Under appropriate scaling we prove convergence to Brownian motion for $alpha ge 2$, and to $alpha$-stable Levy motion for $alpha < 2$. This complements results by Slade (1988), who proves convergence to Brownian motion for nearest-neighbor self-avoiding walk in high dimension.
We prove that the Fourier transform of the properly-scaled normalized two-point function for sufficiently spread-out long-range oriented percolation with index alpha>0 converges to e^{-C|k|^{alphawedge2}} for some Cin(0,infty) above the upper-critical dimension 2(alphawedge2). This answers the open question remained in the previous paper [arXiv:math/0703455]. Moreover, we show that the constant C exhibits crossover at alpha=2, which is a result of interactions among occupied paths. The proof is based on a new method of estimating fractional moments for the spatial variable of the lace-expansion coefficients.
The aim of this short article is to convey the basic idea of the original paper [3], without going into too much detail, about how to derive sharp asymptotics of the gyration radius for random walk, self-avoiding walk and oriented percolation above the model-dependent upper critical dimension.
We consider instances of long-range percolation on $mathbb Z^d$ and $mathbb R^d$, where points at distance $r$ get connected by an edge with probability proportional to $r^{-s}$, for $sin (d,2d)$, and study the asymptotic of the graph-theoretical (a.k.a. chemical) distance $D(x,y)$ between $x$ and $y$ in the limit as $|x-y|toinfty$. For the model on $mathbb Z^d$ we show that, in probability as $|x|toinfty$, the distance $D(0,x)$ is squeezed between two positive multiples of $(log r)^Delta$, where $Delta:=1/log_2(1/gamma)$ for $gamma:=s/(2d)$. For the model on $mathbb R^d$ we show that $D(0,xr)$ is, in probability as $rtoinfty$ for any nonzero $xinmathbb R^d$, asymptotic to $phi(r)(log r)^Delta$ for $phi$ a positive, continuous (deterministic) function obeying $phi(r^gamma)=phi(r)$ for all $r>1$. The proof of the asymptotic scaling is based on a subadditive argument along a continuum of doubly-exponential sequences of scales. The results strengthen considerably the conclusions obtained earlier by the first author. Still, significant open questions remain.
